Guest Ray Posted March 20, 2013 at 12:51 AM Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 at 12:51 AM In a recent meeting, a committee chairman reported to the members that a person had "...resigned with one day's notice..." in a letter. The individual referred to says he resigned but that proper and sufficent notice was given to an official other than the committee chair; in otherwords, it was more than one day.My question is, should officially recorded meeting minutes of such a committee report in this case say only that the action of "resigning" took place and leave it at that, or is it proper to have an additional descriptive phrase? Thanks for any clarification you can provide on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the resignation, the minutes should note that the assembly accepted the member's resignation. Notice isn't required, so there's no need to record how many days of notice the member gave.

Guest Ray Posted March 20, 2013 at 02:29 AM Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 at 02:29 AM So, if notice isnt required and (as you say) there's "no need to record how many days of notice...," is it out of order according to RONR for the person who resigned to ask that such wording be removed from the minutes since it isnt accurate?.thanks for time in answering.

It's a little unclear what exactly the member resigned from and what body's minutes we're talking about.Personally, I think the question is about the minutes of the society and the member resigned from a committee, but I can't say for sure.
