Guest Mamie Richardson Posted April 4, 2023 at 01:52 PM Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 at 01:52 PM A motion was presented in a meeting by unanimous consent from a committee. If a question was asked by one of the members, is this the same as an objection because the silence was broken? Does the member have to say I object?

Richard Brown Posted April 4, 2023 at 02:13 PM Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 at 02:13 PM Asking a question does not amount to an objection. If a member objects to adopting something by unanimous consent, the member must actually object. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a member has a question the procedure is: If a member is uncertain of the effect of an action proposed for unanimous consent, he can call out, “I reserve the right to object,” or, “Reserving the right to object,…” After brief consultation he can then object or withdraw his reservation.
