paulmcclintock Posted June 24, 2022 at 03:46 AM Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 at 03:46 AM RONR, 12th edition. Under rules for contents of minutes, the last sentence of 48:5(2) says "If the chair voted, no special mention of this fact is made in the minutes." (2) has 3 parts: (a) is for "when a count has been ordered"; (b) is for "when the voting is by ballot"; and (c) is for "when the voting is by roll call." The no-special-mention rule would seem to me to be sensible in any of these 3 cases, but the statement seems to be a part of (c) and by that placement could be interpreted to be applicable only in the case of (c). How should the no-special-mention rule be applied? To all of (2), or only to (2)(c)? The 11th edition did not use (a), (b) and (c), but it seemed to me to be ambiguous there.

Actually, I think this last sentence of 48:5(2) is not particular to any or all of (a), (b), or (c) but probably ought to be its own separate item (2)(d).
