I would truly appreciate the opinions of any of you on this forum regarding whether, based on the below bylaw provisions, we are subject to the requirements of Article XX, Chapter 63, including an extensive evidentiary trial.
Term provisions in our Bylaws:
Article I Section 2:
BL1.2: "All leadership positions shall be elected to serve a 2-year term, unless the position is vacated for other reasons (see Article III Section 3). NOTE: Article III, Section 3 provides how vacancies will be filled.
BL1.2.4: "Those elected in the above positions begin their terms immediately after Elections until the next set of Leadership elections unless removed from office per Article III, Section 4."
Removal language:
"SECTION4. REMOVAL BL3.4.1 Elected Leadership Officers or Members may be removed for cause by a two-thirds (⅔) affirmative vote of the Members when a quorum of two-thirds (⅔) is present."
(For cause is not defined in our bylaws)
Also here is section related to RROO:
"SECTION5. ROBERT’SRULESOFORDER BL3.5.1 Unless otherwise provided for these Bylaws, Robert's Rules of Order (latest edition) shall govern the conduct of all meetings."
If your answer is no, Section 62.16 doesn't require a Section 63 procedure: does the fact that we didn't define "for cause" change your analysis?
If your answer to that is no, do you have a suggested procedure we should follow?
Thank you in advance.
