Guest H.Wm.Mountcastle Posted March 21, 2010 at 12:44 PM Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 at 12:44 PM >>Our current by-laws do not list that edition<< If no specific edition is indicated, the current edition is applicable (per the current edition).

Guest Dorene Posted March 21, 2010 at 01:12 PM Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 at 01:12 PM LOL, unfortunately they currently say: "Article VI: Parliamentary Authority The rules contained in Webster's New World Robert's Rules of Order Simplified and Applied, Second Edition 2, shall govern the Club in all cases to which the" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JDStackpole Posted March 21, 2010 at 01:44 PM Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 at 01:44 PM That is about as specific a reference as one could generate, unfortunately to a rip-off "version" of the rules. So it looks as though you are confronted with amending your bylaws - following their own amendment rules, of course - to ins" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dorene Posted March 21, 2010 at 02:08 PM Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 at 02:08 PM we are working on it. But my question originally posted still remains. Since our club is a member of a larger governing club, can we change the version of RR's to be used simply by a Special Rule of Order, and not by an actual amendment to the by-laws, " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JDStackpole Posted March 21, 2010 at 02:31 PM Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 at 02:31 PM That sort of question isn't covered by RONR (or, I think, your rip-off version) but by the parent company bylaws. They might define "must" in this context. Or indicate the consequences if you not doing what you are supposed to. (Which implies " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dorene Posted March 21, 2010 at 02:44 PM Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 at 02:44 PM Well, I know if we don't comply with the change to the official RR's, our club will not be recognized by the AKC because our by-laws will not be in compliance. My thinking on changing the version by a Special Rule of Order, is that it is not a by" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kim Goldsworthy Posted March 21, 2010 at 04:27 PM Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 at 04:27 PM Dorene, Beware. I have not read the bylaws of the superior body to which you refer. I have not read the bylaws of YOUR organization. But I wanted to point out that JUST BECAUSE the superior organization uses a specific parliamentary autho" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob Elsman Posted March 21, 2010 at 05:12 PM Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 at 05:12 PM No. A main motion to adopt a special rule of order that conflicts with the constitution or bylaws is an improper main motion that is out of order. RONR (10th ed.), p. 106, ll. 20-25." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dorene Posted March 21, 2010 at 06:17 PM Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 at 06:17 PM Thank you, that answered part of my question. The other part of my question, was if I was interpreting our by-laws correctly. That we can amend the by-laws by giving a 2 week notice of a vote to amend them at the next meeting."

Guest Rob Elsman Posted March 21, 2010 at 06:23 PM Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 at 06:23 PM Sorry, but I have to pass on the interpretation of a particular organization's bylaws.
