Baofeng Ma Posted June 5, 2023 at 11:39 PM Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 at 11:39 PM An appeal can not come from known facts, evident truths, established rules or laws? Is it correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, A: I move to suspend the rules and elect eight delegates. (seconded) Chair: The motion is out of order because it violates the bylaws. A: I appeal from the decision of the chair. (seconded) Chair: The appeal is out of order. The bylaws can not be suspended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Katz Posted June 6, 2023 at 12:41 AM Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 at 12:41 AM Assuming there is a rule in the bylaws, not in the nature of a rule of order, preventing you from electing eight delegates (that does not provide for its own suspension), then I agree there cannot be two reasonable views on the matter and the appeal is dilatory. But that's a lot of ifs before the matter is obvious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shmuel Gerber Posted June 6, 2023 at 01:48 AM Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 at 01:48 AM The rule in RONR (12th ed.) 24:3 states, "when the chair rules on a question about which there cannot possibly be two reasonable opinions, an appeal would be dilatory and is not allowed." A member may appeal from the decision of the chair even if the decision is based on a rule, if the member disagrees with how the rule should be interpreted and applied to the particular situation.
