Moderator Tim Posted June 19, 2012 at 05:55 PM Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 at 05:55 PM Regarding the election of officers, our bylaws state that "These elections are made from nominations presented to the delegate body by the Standing Committee." (The Standing Committee is functioning as our nominating committee.)With this bylaw, are nominations from the floor in order or out of order?

See pp. 588-591 (RONR 11th Ed.) for some insights into this to help you determine whether your bylaws prevent floor nominations. RONR says they must be called for by the Chair, but bylaws supersede RONR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted June 19, 2012 at 06:33 PM Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 at 06:33 PM Interpreting the bylaws is something you all will need to do for yourselves. See RONR pp. 588-591 for some principles to help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
