Shmuel Gerber Posted September 9, 2012 at 02:03 AM Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 at 02:03 AM Usually not. See RONR (11th ed.), page 507, lines 4-29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ed Posted September 9, 2012 at 07:13 PM Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 at 07:13 PM Unless the Committee is comprised of only one person (which is possible, though not likely) then no. If there are at least two members on the Committee, then a second is not required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David A Foulkes Posted September 9, 2012 at 07:34 PM Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 at 07:34 PM If there are at least two members on the Committee, then a second is not required.What if, on the committee of two during voting, one member abstained? Perhaps not likely, but could happen I suppose. I'm considering the footnote on p. 507, as well as p. 36 ll. 20-23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm considering the footnote on p. 507, as well as p. 36 ll. 20-23.It wouldn't make any difference.Perhaps the footnote on p. 507 would be more helpful if it stated, "Such a practice is justified by the fact that the proper motion is a matter of clear-cut procedure and must necessarily be introduced to resolve the case. And because this book says so." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edgar Posted September 9, 2012 at 08:20 PM Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 at 08:20 PM Unless the Committee is comprised of only one person , , .Well, maybe I can help with one thing. "Comprised of" is always incorrect. You meant "composed of".Move to amend by striking the word comprised and inserting composed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted September 10, 2012 at 11:18 PM Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 at 11:18 PM What if, on the committee of two during voting, one member abstained? Perhaps not likely, but could happen I suppose. I'm considering the footnote on p. 507, as well as p. 36 ll. 20-23.If one of the two members abstained, and the other voted Yes, then the report has passed by a majority vote (unanimous, in fact), in a committee of more than one, so a second is not required.
