Joshua Katz Posted August 5, 2019 at 03:17 PM Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 at 03:17 PM 1. Only if your bylaws allow for email voting. 2. RONR requires a majority vote for such a decision; your bylaws might require a higher threshold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, is 2/3 votes required of all financial members on the roster. Recommendations can be sent to members by email, but voting can only occur at a meeting, by members who are present. RONR, for such matters, does not require a vote threshold above a majority of those present and voting.. I don't understand what a "financial member" is, or why "on the roster" would be significant in this context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Zev Posted September 16, 2019 at 05:27 AM Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 at 05:27 AM Quote The basic principle of decision in a deliberative assembly is that, to become the act or choice of the body, a proposition must be adopted by a majority vote; that is, direct approval -- implying assumption of responsibility for the act -- must be registered by more than half of the members present and voting on the particular matter, in a regular or properly called meeting of the body (see also pp. 400-401).

Well, p. 423 is pretty firm. So is p. 97. Is that the "rule" you are asking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
