Guest loreen Posted October 26, 2015 at 12:57 AM Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 at 12:57 AM When you want to replace a word in the bylaws which is inaccurate - like "elected" replaced by "nominated" because the section is about nominations, not election, does the membership need to approve such "clerical" changes?Also, things like separating a paragraph into 2 separate points or moving a sentence from one position to another. Do those need to be approved by membership?Can you refer me to a section in RR that might answer these types of questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hieu H. Huynh Posted October 26, 2015 at 01:26 AM Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 at 01:26 AM Yes. For the types of changes that may be delegated by the assembly, see "Captions, Headings, and Article and Section Numbers" in RONR 11th ed., pp. 598-599.

g40 Posted October 26, 2015 at 02:40 PM Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 at 02:40 PM Despite being an "error", since there is a huge difference between elected and nominated, it seems to me that this change would need to be approved be the applicable assembly.

Gödel Fan Posted October 26, 2015 at 02:56 PM Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 at 02:56 PM I would say that all of the changes listed must be approved as amendments, unless the bylaws specify other options for amendment, such as a Style Committee. Even in that case, the first would certainly need to be an amendment (unless even more power is delegated.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
