Robert B Fish Posted February 4, 2011 at 02:21 PM Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 at 02:21 PM As I understand your post, notice was given and a motion was made to amend yur bylaws. At the meeting, during consideraton of the motion, a motion was passed to postpone the motion indefinitely, thereby killing the motion.At any future meeting, provided that proper notice is given, it would be in order to again consider the same motion. This is called renewal of a motion.-Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Goldsworthy Posted February 4, 2011 at 04:50 PM Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 at 04:50 PM A motion was brought before our board to make changes in the bylaws ... at the board meeting.The motion was postponed indefinitely and no point of order was called and it passed with require votes.Okay.Snapshot so far:Motion to make changes to the bylaws (whatever that means, for a board to do such a thing) is dead for the board, for the rest of that meeting (technically, the rest of that "session", or that "order of business").At a state meeting, it was brought up to be reconsidered, being as it was postponed indefinitely.No! That is parliamentarily incorrect.That which was Postponed Indefinitely cannot be subject to the motion Reconsider BY A DIFFERENT BODY.The board could have moved to Reconsider.The state meeting is a different assembly, and cannot move to Reconsider that which was Postponed Indefinitely in any board or any committee, or any other assembly.How can this be "reconsider" and also with a different assembly, plus we were not notified that they were going to reconsider this issue, they refuse to accept a called point of order.It cannot.They erred."To err is human. To forgive is not Robertian, since the motion isn't subject to Reconsideration in a new deliberative assembly, nor after the session has adjourned."

sammy Posted February 5, 2011 at 01:33 PM Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 at 01:33 PM At the next session of the board, who can bring this motion before the board, does it have to be by the prevailing vote, or any member of the board, if any member, when can it only be reconsider by the prevailing vote?

Gary Novosielski Posted February 5, 2011 at 09:31 PM Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 at 09:31 PM At the next session of the board, who can bring this motion before the board, does it have to be by the prevailing vote, or any member of the board, if any member, when can it only be reconsider by the prevailing vote?At the next, or any session, any member can move this same motion.The only time the prevailing side makes a difference is with the motion To Reconsider, which is not applicable here for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that it cannot reach as far as a motion that was considered at a prior session, much less at a prior session of a completely different body.
