Guest Tay Posted February 6, 2024 at 04:39 PM Report Share Posted February 6, 2024 at 04:39 PM Do you have to record the name of the person who makes a motion and the name of the person who seconds it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Katz Posted February 6, 2024 at 04:43 PM Report Share Posted February 6, 2024 at 04:43 PM No, just the maker. The name of the seconder need not be included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Lages Posted February 6, 2024 at 05:52 PM Report Share Posted February 6, 2024 at 05:52 PM And note that it is only the names of makers of main motions that should be included in the minutes: "The name of the maker of a main motion should be entered in the minutes, but the name of the seconder should not be entered unless ordered by the assembly" (RONR, 12th ed. 48:5, 1).

Richard Brown Posted February 7, 2024 at 02:02 AM Report Share Posted February 7, 2024 at 02:02 AM My colleagues have correctly answered your question based on the rules in RONR. However, I will point out that RONR also permits a society to adopt special rules of order requiring additional matters to be included in the minutes or to specify that certain things which RONR requires shall not be required in your organization's minutes. In other words, RONR permits you to adopt special rules of order to specify what your organization wants included in the minutes. See §48:3 of RONR (12th ed.).
