Guest Curious Posted April 19, 2017 at 09:54 PM Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 at 09:54 PM Our organization voted in favour of a large project, that is set to begin in a few months. If a member brought forth notice of their intent to move to rescind the motion to move forward with that project, does that put the project on hold until after the next meeting (and the projected start date of the project)? In other words, does that put everything on hold until after the motion to rescind is dealt with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexis Hunt Posted April 19, 2017 at 11:07 PM Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 at 11:07 PM Also, in this case, the recission would only apply to the parts of the motion that haven't been carried out. It doesn't operate retroactively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, you may want to compare and contrast page 321 which explains the manner in which the motion to Reconsider does have a suspending effect, while there is nothing in section 35 about suspension of the motion to be rescinded.

Tom Coronite Posted April 20, 2017 at 12:41 PM Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 at 12:41 PM Just think, one person could thwart the will of any assembly by giving notice of intent to rescind every motion adopted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, I would note that, as Alexis said, nothing in the description indicates that some action must be stopped when Rescind is moved. It also indicates that an "unexcused part of an order can be rescinded or amended(p. 308, ll 21-23)." That indicates that rescind only could stop an action when the motion to rescind is adopted, not when it is made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you meant to say the "UNEXECUTED part of an order can be rescinded or amended", not the "UNEXECUSED part". Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
