Richard Brown Posted April 21, 2021 at 07:30 PM Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 at 07:30 PM Yes, if the rules in RONR are controlling. There is no requirement that the members approving the minutes of a previous meeting actually attended the meeting. In addition, RONR provides that the assembly only votes on corrections to the minutes. If there are no corrections, or once all corrections have been made, the chair simply declares that the minutes are approved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
