Guest CMBond Posted May 2, 2012 at 01:56 AM Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 at 01:56 AM A member of our board has been telling others on the board that only those members who originally voted on the action may take part in any vote to rescind that action. Also that since it involves a resignation that the individual who offered his resignation may not vote. Are either of these stances valid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edgar Posted May 2, 2012 at 02:08 AM Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 at 02:08 AM Are either of these stances valid?The first is most definitely not. All members have the right to vote, regardless of how, or even whether, they voted previously on any particular motion. This person might be thinking of the motion to Reconsider, which may only be made by someone who voted on the prevailing side. Or he might simply not know what he's talking about.The second is a bit problematic. If the resignation was accepted and this person is no longer a member, then, no, he can't vote. But if the resignation was denied and this person is still a member, then, yes, he can vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanh49 Posted May 2, 2012 at 02:38 AM Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 at 02:38 AM If the resignation has already been accepted it can't be rescinded and if it hasn't the person submitting it can just withdraw it till the chair states the question on accepting it.

Gary Novosielski Posted May 2, 2012 at 02:42 AM Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 at 02:42 AM No, neither stance is valid. The first one is just nonsense. The second one is, too, actually, unless the resignation has already been accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
