GregoryHofer Posted November 21, 2012 at 05:49 PM Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 at 05:49 PM Recently our Executive Board voted and approved to suspend our policy and procedures manual because it was somewhatoutdated. However we have come to learn that there are motions that were approved by the membership in that manual.Does RONR allow motions to be suspended, if so what page would I be able to locate that information?I know RONR allows motions to suspend the agenda or to suspend the reading of the minutes but can we also suspend motions thatare considered to be working rules?

Inside a meeting, a rule can only be suspended for a particular purpose; a rule itself cannot be suspended indefinitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Harrison Posted November 21, 2012 at 06:52 PM Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 at 06:52 PM See RONR pp. 260-267 which discusses the motion to Suspend the Rules with a focus on pp. 263-265.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RONR (11th ed.), p.305 & RONR (11th ed.), p. 483, ll. 6-9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
