Revote to entertain jurisdiction ??

Recommended Posts

Our club has a section in the bylaws stating "any member may prefer charges against another member for conduct prejudicial..... 

If the board votes to entertain jurisdiction on the charges a date for hearing is set.

When the parties were notified of the hearing there was an objection to 2 members of the board hearing the matter based on a conflict of interest. 

They recued themselves and were absent from the hearing.

Based on their recusal, should the board have re-voted the question of entertaining jurisdiction based on the conflict of 2 parties that did vote in the motion to entertain?

No rule would have required it.  See http://www.robertsrules.com/faq.html#9

I don't see why they would.  It seems like two different questions.
