Guest HOABoDMembr Posted April 14, 2014 at 07:13 PM Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 at 07:13 PM Is it OK to send FYI excerpts and URLs of articles to fellow Board Members between meetings? For instance, creating a new scheme to fine violators was on the agenda. I sent an excerpt and URL that said it had been voted down as unconstitutional by the Courts in two other states. Two other articles mentioned that fines didn't really help. And the President had a fit. Was I out of line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, while we can't speak to the legal or practical issues regarding fines, as a parliamentary matter fines cannot be issued unless authorized in the bylaws.

Gary Novosielski Posted April 14, 2014 at 07:16 PM Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 at 07:16 PM No. And you might also point out to them that, unless provided for in the bylaws, no assessment beyond dues may be levied upon members, according to the rules in RONR. ----------That Josh is a fast typist.
