Consent vote vs Action vote

Recommended Posts

What determines how an item is voted on. What types of items can be vote on in a group  with one consent vote.

What types of items need an individual vote. 

 

The terms you are using (Consent Vote & Action Vote) are not found in RONR.  Some routine motions, or ones of little consequence can be adopted by unanimous consent, but just about everything else takes a regular vote.  See RONR (11th ed.), pp. 54-56.

If your bylaws provide for the use of a Consent Calendar, then items on the consent calendar, adopted with a single vote, are those that are presumably non-controversial, and would not have any need for debate or amendment. 

 

But any item of any type that a member feels would benefit from debate or amendment should be removed from the consent calendar, and considered individually.
