Verification of minutes

Does the verifier need to check out the  actual content of what was recorded?

 

How else would one determine that the minutes are an accurate record of what happened?

 

But, as Mr. Harrison noted, there is no one "verifier" in RONR-Land. All members are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the minutes.

 

(And seconds are not recorded.)

Who is the "verifier?" The assembly? A minutes approval committee? Someone else entirely?

 

When verifying minutes of a convention assembly what does the verifier look for? 

 

See RONR, 11th ed., pgs. 468-471 for what belongs in the minutes.

Well, you should make sure that the wording of the motion is what was adopted by the assembly (the wording put by the chair).

 

What if  a motion is unclear?

 

Not your problem. The minutes should be accurate. If the motion was unclear when it was adopted, then it will be unclear in the minutes.

 

What if there was  no seconder recorded  for the Motion?

 

Good. Seconders are not required unless ordered by the assembly (RONR, 11th ed., pg. 470).

There is no such things as "verifying the minutes under RONR".  See RONR pp. 354-355 for how the minutes are to be approved.

Perhaps Guest_Pat's association has some special rules for "verifying" convention minutes.  If so, s/he will have to look there for answers since, as noted, RONR doesn't have rules that define what a "verifier" does.

Thank you for responding

After posting these questions I did go to our constitution

Our constitution allows  for an appointed verification committee to go over the convention minutes  and then present recommendations to the assembly.

There  are no other guidelines

 

Josh do I understand you correctly when you say  a seconder is not required

Thx
