Guest Lucy Posted January 11, 2017 at 09:22 PM Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 at 09:22 PM Most business in our club is conducted by the board of directors, which meets monthly; the general membership meets every other month. Sometimes the board votes to do X, and then at the next general meeting, a member motions to rescind or amend X. When that happens, do we follow the rules for rescinding or amending (which require previous notice or a greater majority of votes), or is this new business for the general membership, with just a simple majority needed to pass? Thank you for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Mervosh Posted January 11, 2017 at 09:27 PM Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 at 09:27 PM (edited) If the membership wishes to rescind or amend the actions of the board, the voting requirements found in Section 35, beginning on p. 305 in RONR apply. Also, see p. 483, ll. 9-13 Edited January 11, 2017 at 09:28 PM by George Mervosh Added second citation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
