Duane Peterson Posted March 16, 2021 at 07:14 PM Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 at 07:14 PM I was appointed Chair of our associations Bylaws update committee. Of course a major update will be the addition of being able to conduct Electronic meetings. I have reviewed RONR sample bylaws but have a questions about item 10 wording which states in part, that the presiding officer can mute or disconnect a member and that decision is subject to an "undebatable appeal". How is an "undebatable appeal" resolved? Would it be different than a normal appeal? Thank You. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Mervosh Posted March 16, 2021 at 07:27 PM Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 at 07:27 PM I agree with J.J. The sample rule you're referring to is in line with what RONR itself says regarding debate on an appeal: "Is debatable, unless it (a) relates to indecorum or a transgression of the rules of speaking; (b) relates to the priority of business; or (c) is made when an undebatable question is immediately pending or involved in the appeal."
