Guest OkraMatt Posted November 7, 2012 at 12:40 AM Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 at 12:40 AM We have a committee that has run its course, but may be useful again in the future. Instead of amending the constitution, we want to "table" or put it the committee in the drawer until a future time. Is this acceptable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted November 7, 2012 at 12:53 AM Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 at 12:53 AM No. A Special Committee ceases to exist after it has finished considering the matter referred to it and presented its report (RONR p. 492 ll. 3-9). However, nothing would stop you all from using the same people to populate another Special Committee in the future if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted November 7, 2012 at 01:06 AM Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 at 01:06 AM Chris H, it is actually a standing committee, but due to some changes and open positions in our organization, we don't have a capable person to run it. I guess we would need to dissolve the committee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was worth putting in the bylaws in the first place (as a standing committee), it's probably worth leaving in the bylaws. Otherwise, re-create it as a special committee when needed. But don't put it in and out of the bylaws each time. The bylaws should be a (relatively) stable document. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
