Tomm Posted July 1, 2019 at 09:57 PM Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 at 09:57 PM I would like to recommend making the allowance of e-meetings put into our corporate Bylaws, and it does appear that they are allowed for non-profits in our state, Arizona. I see that RONR recommends considering and addressing a few of the issues, (and I can see where several more are required) but all the example Bylaws I've researched only address a short paragraph that allows e-meetings in a very general manner with no real extended list of "must's" or "shall's" or details. I'm wondering if the Bylaws should only make the allowance for e-meetings and all the details of the "must's" or "shall's" should be placed in a set of Standing Rules? Is that how it's normally done?

How it’s “normally” done is the assembly says that “e-meetings” are authorized and gives no further thought to the matter. As RONR notes, however, “Various additional rules (in the bylaws, special rules of order, standing rules, or instructions to a committee, as appropriate) may also be necessary or advisable regarding the conduct of electronic meetings” (RONR, 11th ed., pg. 99) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted July 2, 2019 at 07:59 PM Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 at 07:59 PM Here, if the system works, is a set of those rules. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6kg7md3bfa3389n/AACsh-KTmMA6RUlPOv6jZhcva?dl=0 did it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Brown Posted July 3, 2019 at 01:39 PM Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 at 01:39 PM The CD-ROM version of RONR also contains some suggested rules for various types of electronic meetings, but those rules are not nearly as expansive as the ones by Dr. Stackpole.
