A board I sit on currently has a special committee to review the bylaws. We just had our board election and two members of the committee were voted off our board. Our President appoints committee members for our committees (usually taking into account board recommendations) but since the committee is already formed who appoints people to replace these exiting members, the committee chair or the president, or would both have authority to do so?

I an on a board for a non-profit organization and we recently receive an agenda for our bi-annual membership meeting stating that no items can be brought up in the meeting or added to the agenda that are not submitted the week before the meeting. We have no policy in place for this and I am have a feeling we are going to be told we cannot bring up any new business. I am trying to find in Robert's Rules where it states that the assembly can be restricted from bringing up new business. We have not voted on adopting this agenda yet either if that makes a difference. Thanks for any advice.
