Thanks Daniel.  So basically when we present it to our membership at the September meeting with instructions that we plan on voting on it during October, someone could make a motion and get a second to vote on postponing it.  If approved by the majority of voting people in attendance then it will be postponed indefinitely.  Correct?  

To be clear I am reading your reply Daniel, it appears we do the vote in October, however after the votes are counted, someone can make the motion to postpone implementation of the amendment indefinitely.  The approval of that motion only requires majority vote, not 67% that applies to the amendment to the constitution.  Then if majority vote to postpone implementation then it effectively failed and will not be implemented.

So Josh, I believe you are reading it the same way as I am.  Board approves presenting to the club for a vote.  A motion can not be presented to kill the vote.  The board has decided the vote will happen and then the club membership can decide if they want it or not.

I’m afraid that the answer to your question will depend upon the exact wording of the provisions in your bylaws constitution concerning their its amendment.

Here is the section of the constitution about changes to the by-laws:

The By-Laws of this organization may be amended as follows: A. A special committee shall be appointed by the President. The proposed revisions or amendments shall be presented to the NRC Board for approval and then to the membership at a Monthly Membership Meeting one month prior to voting. B. Approval of revisions or amendments requires two-thirds (2/3) affirmative vote of the members in attendance.

The committee presented the amendments and the whole board voted and approved moving forward for a vote.
