Transpower Posted November 15, 2017 at 03:17 PM Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 at 03:17 PM RONR (11th ed.), p. 307, ll.5-12: "If the bylaws or governing instrument contains no provision relating to amendment, a motion to rescind or amend applied to a constitution or to bylaws is subject to the same voting requirement as to rescind or amend special rules of order--that is, it requires (a) previous notice as described above and a two-thirds vote or (b) a vote of a majority of the entire membership."
