Guest russ rutter Posted September 23, 2013 at 11:14 PM Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 at 11:14 PM I'm a member of a small group that has an executive committee. If that executive committee has already voted to present a motion, it is my understanding that it has already voted once and thus may not vote again in the full group meeting. Is my understanding correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edgar Posted September 23, 2013 at 11:21 PM Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 at 11:21 PM Committees don't vote; members vote. Someone who is a member of both the executive committee and "the full group" can vote in a meeting of either body and can vote one way at a meeting of the executive committee and another way, on the same question, at a meeting of "the full body". In other words, at a meeting of the executive committee, he can vote to present a motion to "the full body" and, as a member of "the full body", he can either vote for or against that motion. If that's what you're asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted September 24, 2013 at 02:34 PM Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 at 02:34 PM If the executive committee has the power to act, then it's not clear why the question would come up again before the larger group. But if it does, then Edgar is certainly correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The larger group might have chosen to Rescind or Amend the Executive Committee's action. Or the Executive Committee might not have the power to act in this case (or has chosen not to act).

Guest Edgar Posted September 24, 2013 at 07:26 PM Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 at 07:26 PM The larger group might have chosen to Rescind or Amend the Executive Committee's action. As I understood it, the executive committee's "action" consisted of "presenting a motion" to the full body. Once that was done, there's nothing to rescind or otherwise amend.
