Watson Posted March 12, 2021 at 06:47 PM Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 at 06:47 PM May a secretary record in the minutes that a vote was "Unanimous," or "Motion carried Unanimously"? If such is permissible, what form of voting procedure(s) must be followed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atul Kapur Posted March 12, 2021 at 09:09 PM Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 at 09:09 PM It's not necessary, but if the body accepts it when they approve the minutes, then it's fine. Unanimous consent, in RONR, means that no one votes against the proposal or motion. Abstentions do not take away from unanimous consent.

Richard Brown Posted March 12, 2021 at 11:28 PM Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 at 11:28 PM 4 hours ago, Watson said: May a secretary record in the minutes that a vote was "Unanimous," or "Motion carried Unanimously"? If such is permissible, what form of voting procedure(s) must be followed? Agreeing with the answer above by Dr. Kapur, the secretary may state in the minutes that a motion was adopted unanimously. However, it is not required and RONR has nothing to say on that point. A simple statement that the motion was adopted is all that is necessary and is all that RONR requires.
