Guest Cindy Posted June 4, 2024 at 06:35 PM Report Share Posted June 4, 2024 at 06:35 PM If the chairperson brings up a point of order (regarding conflict of interest) during a condo board meeting, does that point of order have to be included in the minutes?

rulesasker Posted June 4, 2024 at 06:46 PM Report Share Posted June 4, 2024 at 06:46 PM It's odd for the chairperson to make a point of order, since a point of order is a demand for the chair to make a ruling on whether the rules are being violated. The chair is able to enforce the rules without making a point of order, simply by telling someone that their action is out of order. You might want to describe exactly why the chair felt the need to make a point of order. But if a point of order is made, it does need to be in the minutes, along with whether it is sustained or lost (presumably the chair will sustain his own point of order), with the reasons for his ruling.

Yes. Points of Order, the resulting ruling, and the reasons for it belong in the minutes. Presumably the Point of Order would refer to some rule in your bylaws or special rules of order, because RONR does not have any obligatory rule on "conflict of interest".

I'd think that, whatever terminology is used, the thing the chair is doing in making such a ruling is, in effect, raising a point of order sua sponte and then ruling on it.

Yes, it may be uncommon, but there's nothing wrong with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
