Guest Padraig Posted February 8, 2012 at 11:19 PM Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 at 11:19 PM Our nonprofit bylaws are silent with regards to taking action on board members or committee members who are frequently absent from meetings. Our bylaws says that meetings shall be governed by RRO. I understand that the rules of the assembly apply to the committee. Can the chair of an ad hoc committee set special guidelines regarding absences of its members? Can the chair implement these guidelines by having the committee members adopt them?

If the appointing authority in their instructions to the committee state that the committee could at their discression adopt their own rules, the committee could adopt such a rule.Absent the instructions by the appointing authority, a rule prescribed in the bylaws or the organization's other rules, the committee is prohibited from adopting their own rules.
