Guest Zana Posted May 8, 2014 at 05:52 PM Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 at 05:52 PM Does the assembly/body vote to suspend or eliminate standing committees? Or can the Chairperson of the assembly/body decide to eliminate a standing committee? Can the approval of the minutes be postponed to the next meeting? Or do they have to be reviewed and corrected at the meeting immediately following the meeting when the minutes were recorded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Martin Posted May 8, 2014 at 06:09 PM Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 at 06:09 PM Does the assembly/body vote to suspend or eliminate standing committees? Or can the Chairperson of the assembly/body decide to eliminate a standing committee? The assembly votes to eliminate standing committees. (There isn't really such a thing as "suspending" a standing committee.) Exactly what is involved in that depends on how the committee was created in the first place. The chairperson doesn't have the authority to eliminate standing committees unless the bylaws so provide. Can the approval of the minutes be postponed to the next meeting? Or do they have to be reviewed and corrected at the meeting immediately following the meeting when the minutes were recorded? The approval of the minutes can be postponed to the next meeting if the assembly wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ed Posted May 8, 2014 at 08:28 PM Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 at 08:28 PM The assembly votes to eliminate standing committees. (There isn't really such a thing as "suspending" a standing committee.) Exactly what is involved in that depends on how the committee was created in the first place. If the By-laws creates a Standing Committee then the By-law would have to be repealed in order to eliminate the Standing Committee. If this is only going to be a temporary thing (i.e. if you want to use the Committee again in the future), then simply do not appoint any members this year and then appoint members when the organization is ready to use the Committee again.

I'm somewhat skeptical about the idea that it is appropriate to simply not appoint any members to a standing committee, especially if the standing committee is established in the bylaws.

Guest Edgar Posted May 8, 2014 at 09:23 PM Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 at 09:23 PM Can the approval of the minutes be postponed to the next meeting? Or do they have to be reviewed and corrected at the meeting immediately following the meeting when the minutes were recorded? It depends on when the next meeting is but, generally speaking, it's best to approve minutes at the very next regular meeting. Memories fade over time. Is there a particular reason why the minutes can't be approved at the subsequent meeting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
