GRIEVANCE COMMITTEE

[Guest ALPHAF]

IS A MEMBER OF A ADVISORY ABLE TO NOT ONLY HAVE A VOTE IN AN EXECUTIVE SESSION, BUT ALSO VOTE ON THE SAME MATTER AS AN INDIVIDUAL AS A PART OF A GENERAL BODY VOTE?  SEEMS CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND DOUBLE COUNTING.

[Chris Harrison]

First, please don't write in all CAPS because that is the netiquette equivalent of shouting and we can "hear" you just fine .  That being said, I am not quite sure I understand your question.  But, if you are asking if someone can be on a committee and vote to recommend a matter to the Membership and then as a member of the Membership vote on the matter again the answer is yes because the Committee and Membership are two separate bodies.

[Guest Edgar]

Not only is a member of two bodies able to vote at meetings of either body, he can vote differently in each body on (essentially) the same question. That is, he could vote in favor of the committee's report as a member of the committee and then against the committee's recommendation as a member of the general assembly.

At separate meetings of each body, of course.
