Edgar Guest Posted June 16, 2014 at 11:48 PM Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 at 11:48 PM Probably not. But who's doing the prohibiting? And why? And on what authority? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted June 17, 2014 at 02:23 AM Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 at 02:23 AM I suppose it would be possible to put a "Thou shalt not..." rule in your bylaws (after all, the big 10 have a few of those) but it would require a 2/3 vote. But it wouldn't be guaranteed to last, since another 2/3 vote could remove the restriction. Think 18 and 21.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Glen Barry Evans Posted June 17, 2014 at 03:59 PM Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 at 03:59 PM An organization that I am associated with (not a member, my DCOS is a National Officer) wantsto amend their Bylaws so that they cannot Amend a specific part their Bylaws again for 12 years. From my perspective, the next time that Bylaws would come up, they coud eliminate the "moratorum"by eliminating that restriction. My DCOS is looking for a definative statement from RONR, which I have yet to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted June 17, 2014 at 04:50 PM Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 at 04:50 PM I don't believe there is a way to do what the DCOS wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
