Bob Posted October 6, 2011 at 12:46 AM Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 at 12:46 AM If a motion was made and seconded at the meeting and not voted on at that meeting is the motion classified as old business at the next meeting or does the motion die with adjournment.

jstackpo Posted October 6, 2011 at 12:55 AM Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 at 12:55 AM Why was it not voted on?The reason, if it is more than "we forgot", could make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted October 6, 2011 at 12:58 AM Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 at 12:58 AM the reason was the president was not totally aware of ROR and there was some push to have the unfilled slot on the board meet with the board before the person was "accepted". the board can filled the unexpired position by the by,-laws.

jstackpo Posted October 6, 2011 at 01:07 AM Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 at 01:07 AM If, and I am guessing here, the "motion" (you didn't really say what it was) was to place the person in the vacancy, then yeah, more or less, that motion is unfinished business (not "old" business) that you will take up and vote on next meeting.Give your president a copy of RONRIB as a Yom Kippur gift (or Columbus Day gift if you prefer)RONRIB:"Roberts Rules of Order Newly Revised In Brief" (Da Capo Press, Perseus Books Group, 2011). It is a splendid summary of all the rules you will really need in all but the most exceptional situations. And only $7.50! You can read it in an evening.
