Guest Learning Posted May 9, 2012 at 07:05 PM Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 at 07:05 PM Do the names of those nominated for each office go into the minutes by rule? I see nothing regarding nominations or other proposals to fill a blank in the section on minutes, or did I miss it? Or is it simply a part of the "all main motions" and a given?

Gary c Tesser Posted May 10, 2012 at 12:12 AM Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 at 12:12 AM Hmm.Do all proposals to fill a blank go in the minutes? (Without looking, I think not.)Do all failed proposed amendments, or other secondary motions, go in the minutes? (Some do, some don't.)I'm leaning towards "no" to both questions.(I'm itching to cite the top of p. 440, but shall manfully refrain.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. J. Posted May 10, 2012 at 12:20 AM Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 at 12:20 AM Well, a nomination is not a main motion, so the "main motion rule" would not apply. Assuming this is an uncounted vote, there would be no rule requiring it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edgar Posted May 10, 2012 at 01:59 PM Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 at 01:59 PM Well somebody sure as heck better be writing down the names of the nominees.One would think so.But, assuming a ballot vote with a blank piece of paper, I'm wondering if it matters if the names of the nominees are (permanently) recorded or not. If the purpose of nominations is to narrow the voters attention (and thus ensure a majority vote), writing the names on a blackboard (or its modern equivalent) should suffice, no?

Gary Novosielski Posted May 19, 2012 at 03:05 AM Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 at 03:05 AM I guess a related question is whether a tellers' report would contain the names of nominees who got zero votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
