At a meeting, the assembly decides when an issue is voted on and when discussion ends, not just the chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kiwi Posted August 4, 2011 at 06:10 AM Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 at 06:10 AM looks like there is enough votes to pass this, the Chairperson has given us 8 days to votewithout discussion. we can vote by e-mail so no need for a meeting as far as they are concerned.

If not, then votes cannot be taken by email. If they do, then any rules relating thereto should be found in your bylaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
