Guest Barbara Vest Posted July 20, 2011 at 03:19 PM Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 at 03:19 PM Is there a difference in using 'motion passed' or 'motion carried' in the minutes? There are instances when both have been used in the organization minutes. We wish to be consistent going forward if there is no difference in the meaning.

The term "carried" is synonymous with "adopted." See p. 31, l. 31-32. The term for the opposite outcome would be "lost" or "rejected." See p. 31, l. 33-34.I have amazingly little insight into the terms of the forthcoming 11th edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please accept my condolences in your time of grief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
