Guest Eli Morning Posted September 6, 2012 at 06:28 PM Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 at 06:28 PM an other problem Robert's rules has cause. recently charges were brought against two general offices. one set of charges was brought jointly, against both offices. another set of charges was brought naming them individually. Robert's rules states that both officers were allowed to vote on accepting charges that were filed jointly against them. the individual charges against one co-conspirator was voted on by the other and vice versa because they had a mutual interest to not to have charges brought against the other. the vote of the general officers was the deciding factor in not having the charges excepted. neither general officer had the charges move forward against them.

Guest Eli Morning Posted September 6, 2012 at 06:48 PM Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 at 06:48 PM it is asinine to allow the defendant to jump from the defendant's chair into the jury box although this is what Roberts rules allows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trina Posted September 6, 2012 at 06:59 PM Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 at 06:59 PM Does the organization have its own disciplinary procedures, or was the process in RONR Ch. XX followed? If the latter, at what stage in the process did the vote of the accused play such a crucial part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eli Morning Posted September 6, 2012 at 07:53 PM Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 at 07:53 PM yes RONR Ch. xx was followed. the accused was allowed to vote and was the deciding vote whether the charges against himself would be excepted!!!!

Trina Posted September 6, 2012 at 08:51 PM Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 at 08:51 PM yes RONR Ch. xx was followed. the accused was allowed to vote and was the deciding vote whether the charges against himself would be excepted!!!!So, an investigative committee was formed, and when the resolutions and charges recommended by the committee came before the assembly of the society, the vote on the resolutions was so close that one vote made the difference, and therefore the committee recommendations were not accepted? Interesting that the general membership was so evenly divided on the committee report... but, I guess it happens.[i assume the intended word above is "accepted", not "excepted"] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
