Chris Harrison Posted June 24, 2010 at 02:56 PM Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 at 02:56 PM Why is it that in elections individuals should not nominate themselvesI think a lot of it is political in that if a member cannot even get someone else to nominate him that he is not exactly likely to get elected (although there are cases where that would not necessarily be true). Besides General Robert says that it is "indelicate". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted June 24, 2010 at 03:34 PM Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 at 03:34 PM But others of us view "self-nomination" in a more favorable light, and refer to it as "Volunteering" - a highly laudable action.Robert was something of a grump.

Kim Goldsworthy Posted June 25, 2010 at 12:35 AM Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 at 12:35 AM Why is it that in elections individuals should not nominate themselves?What do you mean by that?THERE IS NO SUCH PROHIBITION in Robert's Rules of Order.A member may indeed nominate himself.

Trina Posted June 25, 2010 at 01:37 AM Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 at 01:37 AM As are those who follow in his footsteps.Is this an inevitable consequence of an interest in parliamentary procedure? Does the duration of interest correlate directly to the development of the 'grump' syndrome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
