Steven Britton Posted July 24, 2012 at 12:21 PM Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 at 12:21 PM In an assembly (a board of directors) that holds regular monthly meetings, the agenda is getting a bit conjested and the assembly is consistently not making it though to its new business; before adjourning, the assembly adopts a motion to provide for an adjourned meeting, one week later (same time and day of the week).In relationship to the making of the motion to reconsider, in the session one week later, is a motion to reconsider in order? If the first meeting is on Wednesday, is the next Wednesday considered the next succeeding day within the session, or is it to late to move reconsider?Is the next succeeding day of the session a Thursday or Wednesday?

If the first meeting is on Wednesday, is the next Wednesday considered the next succeeding day within the session, or is it to late to move reconsider?Is the next succeeding day of the session a Thursday or Wednesday?The motion to Reconsider may be made on the next succeeding day on which a business meeting is held. In the circumstances you describe, this would be the following Wednesday. Thus, the motion to Reconsider will be in order provided the motion has not been partly carried out.The "next succeeding day on which a business meeting is held" language is primarily intended for conventions spanning multiple days, although there may be a break of a day or two between business meetings. Nonetheless, the wording does not seem to preclude the use of the motion in the circumstances you've described, provided the motion has not been partly carried out.
