Guest Bruce Posted September 21, 2020 at 06:45 PM Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 at 06:45 PM 35:6b says that actions cannot be rescinded "When something has been done as the result of the vote on the main motion, that is impossible to undo..." How do we define "impossible to undo?" We have an unworkable strategic plan the was voted/approved/implemented 10 years ago. Does this mean we cannot rescind that strategic plan?

Atul Kapur Posted September 21, 2020 at 06:53 PM Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 at 06:53 PM An example would be a motion to demolish the garage. Once the garage has actually been demolished, it is impossible to undo. Until it has actually been demolished, the motion can be rescinded. The last 10 years under the strategic plan cannot be undone. However, the future is covered by the rest of that point: "The unexecuted part of an order, however, can be rescinded or amended." The strategic plan has not yet been executed going forward. So it can be rescinded and will no longer have effect. You may prefer to amend the strategic plan, instead.

Rob Elsman Posted September 21, 2020 at 06:53 PM Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 at 06:53 PM Well, an example would be a main motion proposing to paint the club's gazebo red. After the motion has been adopted and the paint job is done, it is too late to rescind the motion, because it is impossible to "undo" the paint job.

Guest Bruce Posted September 21, 2020 at 09:16 PM Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 at 09:16 PM Thank you, Rob and Atul. You've responded with exactly my argument. I'm no parliamentarian, but this just make sense. Appreciate your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
