Guest Lyn Posted July 2, 2015 at 12:36 AM Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 at 12:36 AM Our organization is in the process of having elections for new officers - with the internet, when someone is nominated should someone second the motion and then should the nominee send an email accepting the nomination.

Josh Martin Posted July 3, 2015 at 04:22 PM Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 at 04:22 PM Nominations are made at meetings, not by e-mail.Nominations are not necessarily made at a meeting. Nominations by mail or by petition are two of the methods of nomination in RONR. Nominations by e-mail doesn't seem like much of a stretch.

While we're on the subject, what would be the purpose of counting the mailed-in nominations (p.438, l.1)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstackpo Posted July 4, 2015 at 04:23 PM Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 at 04:23 PM As with nominations by ballot, these methods are sometimes used to gauge the support for various nominees. Sounds a bit like a verboten straw poll to me. p. 429 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Guest Posted July 4, 2015 at 04:40 PM Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 at 04:40 PM As with nominations by ballot, these methods are sometimes used to gauge the support for various nominees. Who's doing the "gauging"? And to what end? And will the results be announced (and recorded in the minutes) or will they be the privileged information of whoever opens the mail? And since only one nomination is required for a particular candidate, shouldn't any additional nominations be considered "seconds" (and therefore not "counted" as nominations)?
