Yes. "Members of the nominating committee are not barred from becoming nominees for office themselves. To make such a requirement would mean, first, that service on the nominating committee carried a penalty by depriving its members of one of their privileges; and second, that appointment or election to the nominating committee could be used to prevent a member from becoming a nominee."

I submitted a new topic asking for the rationale for this restriction. Hoping you will answer either here or there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not typically the case that the rationale for all the rules is spelled out in RONR, though it sometimes is. One method for determining why a given rule is a good idea is to amend the bylaws to eliminate that rule and then watch to see what disasters occur as a result. It shouldn't take long. Even so I can't in good conscience recommend this method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
