Mike T Posted October 23, 2011 at 04:46 PM Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 at 04:46 PM Our club of 20 members needs to update our by-laws. I want to propose that the revised by laws go out to the membership with change bars together with a separate sheetlisting all the changes separately. There are only about seven changes. The membership would vote on each change separately; a majority on each itemwould approve incorporation of same. Is this fair and proper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this fair and proper?When a complete new set of bylaws is being proposed, you don't vote on each item that differs from the current bylaws. However, the proposed revision, while pending, is amenable by a majority vote. In other words, if no motion is adopted to strike content from the proposed revision, the content stays in, and the whole thing goes to a vote for approval.

Is this fair and proper?You'll need to follow the rules in your existing bylaws for their amendment. You might find, for example, that a two-thirds vote is required.

Tim Wynn Posted October 23, 2011 at 05:32 PM Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 at 05:32 PM Mr.T. says, "There are only about seven changes".I got the sense that a new document, which would be a substitute for the current bylaws was to be sent to members with seven parts highlighted that differ from the current bylaws. My sense could certainly be off on this.(That's funny; I always thought Mr. T says, "I pity the fool...") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
