George Mervosh Posted February 13, 2012 at 02:36 PM Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 at 02:36 PM The amendment article in the bylaws should spell out exactly how they are to be amended. Your answer is there, not here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trina Posted February 13, 2012 at 02:49 PM Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 at 02:49 PM Isn't this basically the same question you asked in this other thread? Not surprisingly, Mr. Mervosh agrees with what Mr. Foulkes and Mr. Stackpole already said.http://robertsrules....a-credit-union/Maybe just two guests with similar initials and similar questions... ?

The question has been brought up as to Electinf Officers "Board Of Directors" All elections shall be determined by plurality vote and shall be by ballot except where there is only one nominee for each position to be filled. Nominations shall NOT be made from the floor unless sufficient nominations have not been made by the nominating committee. The amendment needt to allow nominaytions from the floor, At present only those officers serving are ask and wish to remain on as Directors, are allowed to be voted in. No new Members can be nominated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amendment needt to allow nominaytions from the floor, At present only those officers serving are ask and wish to remain on as Directors, are allowed to be voted in. No new Members can be nominated.Are you describing what it currently says in the bylaws regarding the nomination and election process? And that there is a proposed amendment (to the bylaws) which would allow nominations from the floor?In any case, the process by which the bylaws must be amended should be spelled out in the bylaws (and possibly in procedural rules in relevant statute -- I believe another poster in the earlier thread made reference to such rules in federal statute). If the bylaws are silent on the process for their amendment, RONR does provide some default rules for doing so:'If the bylaws contain no provision for their amendment, they can be amended by a two-thirds vote if previous notice... has been given, or they can be amended by the vote of a majority of the entire membership.' (RONR 11th ed. p. 581 ll. 3-7)edited to add:If other governing documents, or statute, do prescribe an amendment process (which seems likely, as Mr. Mervosh points out), that process would supersede the default amendment process in the parliamentary authority (RONR).
