Guest Koha Posted July 5, 2010 at 06:06 PM Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 at 06:06 PM 1) Our Board recently met in executive session to discuss a settlement offer made by a contractor. The original agreement contained a confidentiality clause. So the Board voted to accept in executive session and then tried to get the confidentiality agreement waived. We were successful. Now one of our members is saying the agreement is invalid because we violated the bylaws by voting in executive session. We did vote in open session to confirm the agreement but it was after the President had signed the agreement 2) Another member is also saying we must publish all executive session minutes. Is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Elsman Posted July 5, 2010 at 06:12 PM Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 at 06:12 PM See FAQ #17 at the Robert's Rules website, www.robertsrules.com.No rule in RONR ever requires that minutes be published. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert B Fish Posted July 5, 2010 at 06:37 PM Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 at 06:37 PM As a general rule, when any member says "you must..." ask him/her to cite the source of that information. If the answer is that it's in RONR, ask for the page number. Bring along your own copy of RONR to hand to him so he can show you the rule.You probably won't have to do this more than once.-bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
