Kim Goldsworthy Posted February 23, 2011 at 03:59 PM Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 at 03:59 PM Parliamentary Law (1923) holds an example of censure.Question 350. A motion was made that the treasurer be censured for the careless manner in which he had kept the accounts, and the motion was referred to a committee. The committee recommended that the treasurer be censured. Does the motion to adopt the report of the committee, if carried, censure the treasurer?Answer. It depends upon the form of the report. In such a case the report should always end with a resolution which the committee recommends be adopted, and as soon as the report is read the chairman of the committee should move the adoption of the resolution. The report would end in a form similar to this: "In conclusion your committee recommends the adoption of the following resolution: 'Resolved, That the treasurer be, and he is hereby, censured for the careless manner in which he has kept his accounts.'" If this motion is adopted no further action is necessary. Or the resolution may be worded thus: "Resolved, That the treasurer be publicly censured by the president for the careless manner," etc. In this case the president calls the treasurer to stand in front of the platform, and then censures him publicly.Q.

George Mervosh Posted February 23, 2011 at 04:09 PM Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 at 04:09 PM One can only hope this ends up in the book someday:The answer to your question depends upon whether or not you are using the term "good standing" in the same sense as it is used in RONR. When RONR uses the term "members in good standing" (RONR, 10th ed., p. 6, l. 20-21, p. 279, l. 34-35, p. 585, l. 7-8) it is referring to members whose membership rights are not in suspension, either as a consequence of disciplinary proceedings or by operation of some specific provision in the bylaws of the organization.

Josh Martin Posted February 23, 2011 at 10:21 PM Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 at 10:21 PM Q. Does the targeted member, at any time, lose GOOD STANDING?The member's rights are never under suspension, if that's what you mean. It's just on record that the assembly disapproves of how he carelessly kept the accounts and the President publicly scolded him for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
