Then, you say a new motion is made, and an error is discovered. What was the error?As for rescinding an adopted motion, this is something the assembly can do, but not something within the control of a single member. See RONR (11th ed.), section 35, for the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bob Posted August 3, 2012 at 01:13 AM Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 at 01:13 AM A member voted no on a motion at the june meeting and the motion failed. At the July meeting the member said he wanted to change his vote to yes. The president allow that to happen not realizing that couldn't be done.A new motion was proposed and seconded and approved.The next day or 2 the board members realize the error in allowing the member to change his vote and disallowed the new motion.The motion dealt with membership.June not voted in, July after the change voted in, July 31 membership removed because of "mistake" discovered.
