Guest Julie Posted September 12, 2012 at 03:05 PM Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 at 03:05 PM To recind a motion, only a member voting in favor of that motion can recind it, correct? And this can only occur at the next meeting, not the exiting meeting, correct? In the quick reference guide it notes that to recind a motion, notice is required. What does this mean? Does it mean that it simply has to be an agenda item noted on the next meeting? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted September 12, 2012 at 03:13 PM Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 at 03:13 PM To recind a motion, only a member voting in favor of that motion can recind it, correct? No.And this can only occur at the next meeting, not the exiting meeting, correct? No. In the quick reference guide it notes that to recind a motion, notice is required. What does this mean? It means that the members are notified that a motion to Rescind/Amend Something Previously may be made at the next meeting. Previous notice can be offered verbally at the previous meeting or in the call of the meeting (RONR pp. 121-124). However, it is not true that notice is required to Rescind a motion (though it does reduce the voting requirement). See RONR pp. 305-310 for all of the details on the motion.

Trina Posted September 12, 2012 at 03:14 PM Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 at 03:14 PM A motion to reconsider can be made at the same meeting, and it must indeed be made by someone who voted on the prevailing side.A motion to rescind can be made at any subsequent meeting, by any member at all (not just be someone who voted in favor of the motion when it was originally adopted). Notice is not required (at least not for most motions); however, giving notice of a motion to rescind lowers the voting threshold.The motion to rescind requires two-thirds vote without notice OR majority vote with notice OR majority vote of the entire membership. Read RONR (11th ed.) pp. 121-124 for a full description of Previous Notice of Motions. The agenda really doesn't have anything to do with it.What is the 'quick reference guide' to which you refer?
