RONR93 Posted July 2, 2021 at 07:12 PM Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 at 07:12 PM I am seeking assistance with RONR 49:7 which indicates that "Except in matters placed by the bylaws exclusively under the control of the board, the society's assembly can give the board instructions which it must carry out, and can rescind or amend any action of the board if it is not too late." In this regard, is it fair to interpret that items that are expressly stated as "responsibilities of the board" in the bylaws meet the criteria as "exclusively under the control of the board", regardless of whether that statement or the word exclusive is specifically stated?

No, most likely not, although the word "exclusive" is not essential in this regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted July 2, 2021 at 09:48 PM Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 at 09:48 PM Agreeing with Mr. Honemann, I do not believe the quoted language is quite sufficient for us to say that those items are exclusively under the control of the board. Ultimately, this is a question of bylaws interpretation for the organization itself to decide, but I do not believe the quoted language is quite explicit enough.
