Guest Hugh Posted February 13, 2013 at 01:38 PM Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 at 01:38 PM At a recent meeting a motion was made to rescind a previously adopted motion. After reading the procedures for rescinding a motion, I am still confused about the vote to overturn the previous motion. If there has not been previous notice, does the two-third vote apply to just those at the meeting or the entire membership? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Mervosh Posted February 13, 2013 at 01:51 PM Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 at 01:51 PM When previous notice is not given it requires a 2/3 vote (of those members present and voting) or a vote of a majority of the entire membership. Either is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nb2DeP Posted February 13, 2013 at 02:40 PM Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 at 02:40 PM Thank you for your quick response. So am I correct in assuming that any time a club passes a motion that a member doesn't agree with that member can rally a group to show up at a subsequent meeting and move to rescind the previous motion without notice and have the motion overturned by a two-thirds vote?
