Richard Brown Posted January 21, 2015 at 04:57 AM Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 at 04:57 AM All members who are present can vote on resolution 2 regardless of whether (or how) they voted on resolution 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hieu H. Huynh Posted January 21, 2015 at 01:20 PM Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 at 01:20 PM In addition to the voting, the resolution could be debated and amended. It seems to me that Resolution 2 is similar to Resolution 1 and could have been handled as an amendment to Resolution 1 instead of being a separate resolution.

Rev Ed Posted January 21, 2015 at 07:47 PM Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 at 07:47 PM All members of a group have the right to vote on all issues unless their voting rights have been restricted due to disciplinary actions or for non-payment of membership fees (which would have to be in the By-laws.) Voting against one motion does not stop a member from voting on another motion according to RONR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Honemann Posted January 21, 2015 at 07:57 PM Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 at 07:57 PM All members of a group have the right to vote on all issues unless their voting rights have been restricted due to disciplinary actions or for non-payment of membership fees (which would have to be in the By-laws.) This is a rather strange way of saying things, since bylaws may restrict voting rights for a multitude of reasons, and not just for failure to pay dues.

Hieu H. Huynh Posted January 22, 2015 at 04:41 PM Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 at 04:41 PM Guest_Belinda McCullough, please post a new question as a new topic instead of adding to an existing thread. Think of this thread as Guest_Guest Who's thread. This way, the answers to your question will not be confused with the answers to the question that Guest_Guest Who had, especially if they're completely different situations, and Guest_Guest Who comes back with follow up questions to the original topic. You can post a new question by going to the General Discussion forum and clicking on "Start New Topic" near the upper right hand corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Guest Posted January 22, 2015 at 04:42 PM Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 at 04:42 PM Can a club vote by email or conference call . . . Only if the bylaws permit such absentee voting (or some superior rule or law mandates it). For future reference, this forum works best if new questions (from someone other than the original poster) are posted as new topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Guest Posted January 22, 2015 at 04:44 PM Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 at 04:44 PM Think of this thread as Guest_Guest Who's thread. Sounds like the start of an Abbot & Costello routine. "Who seconded the motion." "No, Who made the motion." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
