wfd086 Posted November 22, 2018 at 01:51 AM Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 at 01:51 AM I belong to 2 organizations the first has a line in the By-Laws that a motion to adjourn is always in order, the second does not. In the second would a motion to adjourn also always be in order even though it is not stated in the By-Laws? Adjournment is not listed in the order of business for the meetings.

jstackpo Posted November 22, 2018 at 02:11 AM Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 at 02:11 AM If your organization has adopted RONR, then a motion to adjourn is always in order no matter whether the bylaws say it is or are silent on the matter.

Guest Who's Coming to Dinner Posted November 22, 2018 at 02:57 AM Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 at 02:57 AM Except when the privileged motion to Fix the Time to Which to Adjourn is pending, or when a vote is being taken or verified, or before the result has been announced, unless the vote was by ballot and the ballots have been collected.

jstackpo Posted November 22, 2018 at 06:23 AM Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 at 06:23 AM (edited) True of course, per RONR, which then raises the question whether wfd086's first organization which includes "always in order" in the bylaws, has superseded those exceptions. Questions like this are why it is best NOT to restate RONR's rules in your bylaws. Edited November 22, 2018 at 06:25 AM by jstackpo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
