Guest Mary Olson Posted February 6, 2017 at 06:10 PM Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 at 06:10 PM May a proposed Resolution be submitted to voting members of a body if the author and presenter is not a member of the organization? I assume he may present it for information only, but a voting member must then move that the group votes to adopt the Resolution as presented?

Guest Who's Coming to Dinner Posted February 6, 2017 at 06:38 PM Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 at 06:38 PM Yes, you could suspend the rules (by a two-thirds vote) to permit the nonmember to read the resolution, then have a member move to adopt it.

This is a parallel to some committee reports, in that the committee gives its report, yet does not explicitly recommend anything. Then a member (not a committee member) rises to make an appropriate motion on his own. Nothing wrong with that. *** To allow a nonmember to speak, first, permission must be granted. This could be done via an ordinary request, or more formally via a Suspension of the Rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
