I have a committee that has done a significant amount of work on updating our constitution and bylaws (basically a rewrite from the ground up).
We are trying to bring them forward to be adopted by the organization.
Is it appropriate for the committee members/chair to motion to accept their own report on the update and/or motion to adopt the constitution and bylaws.
My gut says no. The norm, as I've seen it else where, is a committee report is presented / amended and then some members not on the committee motions/seconds to accept their report (as amended if need be); and likewise for the adoption of it.
Outside of any rules in our existing constitution/bylaws - is this just gentlemanly way of handling these things, or is there a hard and fast rule I'm not seeing.
