jstackpo Posted February 1, 2011 at 09:36 PM Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 at 09:36 PM No.I know, I know, he/she wasn't there so what does he know. But "must abstain" is not in the books - members have the right to vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bill S Posted February 2, 2011 at 04:57 AM Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 at 04:57 AM Mr. Mountcastle, would the recommended procedure be something such as:The minutes are read. The chair states, "If there are no corrections, the minutes will stand approved as read." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chair states, "If there are no corrections, the minutes will stand approved as read."The chair generally asks first "Are there any corrections to the minutes?" If there's no response, he could then say "If there are no corrections, the minutes will stand approved as read." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
