jstackpo Posted September 18, 2012 at 08:32 PM Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 at 08:32 PM Unless your bylaws authorize absentee "meetings" and voting via e-mail (or the I'net in general) then ALL decisions - including the one to hire someone - MUST take place in an in-person meeting.

jstackpo Posted September 18, 2012 at 09:23 PM Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 at 09:23 PM Well, it sounds as though you might have rushed the Board vote on the PersComm chair's recommendation without allowing for discussion.But if your rules allow that, the motion is carried.I have no idea what your e-meeting rules might be but I suppose the Board member who wants to discuss the job description - and amend it? - can propose to do so, somehow.....If you join this group -- its painless and we wont bite -- and send me your e-mail (via the private message system here) I can send you a set of e-meeting rules that seem to work (I hope).Don't post your e-mail in these public messages - who knows who (or what) is looking on.

Guest Edgar Posted September 18, 2012 at 09:32 PM Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 at 09:32 PM Well, it sounds as though you might have rushed the Board vote on the PersComm chair's recommendation without allowing for discussion.I'm not sure if was "rushed" so much as it was a case of all but one member of the board wanting to hire this person. One member certainly can't force a debate if no one else wants one. And it wasn't just the personnel committee chair that recommended hiring, it was all but one member of the committee.

jstackpo Posted September 18, 2012 at 09:39 PM Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 at 09:39 PM Yeah, but this sorta depends on their I'net meeting rules. Whatever they are. Perhaps they depart significantly from RONR's - they'll be sorry..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have some special rule that permits one person to hold up decisions? If not, what is prompting this question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
