Guest Edgar Posted October 6, 2012 at 02:35 PM Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 at 02:35 PM . . . does the honorary member have voting rights?Probably not but see p.463 for the fine print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David A Foulkes Posted October 6, 2012 at 02:40 PM Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 at 02:40 PM In particular, note lines 21-25, and the footnote referenced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ed Posted October 6, 2012 at 03:11 PM Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 at 03:11 PM After reading the footnote, my opinion is that unless the By-laws clearly limit the rights of honorary members then an honorary member has full rights.

Gary Novosielski Posted October 6, 2012 at 11:20 PM Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 at 11:20 PM I think bestowing honorary membership upon an actual member would not be an honor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
