rhammar Posted April 21, 2011 at 06:55 PM Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 at 06:55 PM I could not find a definitive answer in RONR on this one: The delegates at a convention vote to refer a motion to a committee (the board of directors), with the instruction that a report be brought back to next year's convention. The board is opposed to this resolution, and is wondering if it can kill the resolution and not bring it back to the next convention. I am assuming that it does not have this authority, but would like to know where in RONR this is addressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
