Guest Kryazi Posted September 30, 2018 at 03:28 AM Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 at 03:28 AM Hello all, I'm trying to determine whether the appointment of an auditor would fall under a special order (akin to elections for officers) or simply under new business, as it doesn't appear to be an officer. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hieu H. Huynh Posted September 30, 2018 at 03:44 AM Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 at 03:44 AM Perhaps it could be done after the treasurer's report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Who's Coming to Dinner Posted September 30, 2018 at 02:51 PM Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 at 02:51 PM An item of business is not a special order unless it is made so in the bylaws or by action at a meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted September 30, 2018 at 02:57 PM Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 at 02:57 PM Agreeing with both of the previous posts, the appointment of an auditor could most logically be done immediately after the treasurer's report or during new business. It could also be made a special order of business to be taken up at any desired point in the meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See page 357, line 28. (Although "may be regarded as" is a weaselly way of phrasing it. Just who is doing the "regarding"? Either it is or is not a special order. Answering questions like that is what rules are for.) An item can also become a special order if it is "left over" from a previous meeting - p. 356, l. 35ff. (No ambiguity there!)

(No ambiguity there!) Well, no, what is said on page 356, lines 35 ff., does not tell us how an item of business can become a special order because what is said there refers to items which have already become special orders by some other means.

jstackpo Posted September 30, 2018 at 11:27 PM Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 at 11:27 PM OK. it is treated as a special order for the current meeting because it was made a special order for the previous meeting (and wasn't disposed of).
