Reintroducing a Rejected Motion

[Mingo999]

A motion at one of our recent board meetings was made, discussed, and rejected by the board.

One member who was--at the time--in a conflict-of-interest position around this motion, had absented himself for the discussion. Now he is no longer in a conflict-of-interest position and would like to reintroduce the motion. He suspects that the discussion occurring while he was absent from the room didn't take all the information into account. Can he reintroduce the motion that was discussed and rejected? Does he have to wait any period of time, or does he simply have to convey that there is new information that may render a different decision?

Thanks.

All he needs to do is to make the same motion again at another meeting.

All he need do is wait until the next regular meeting/session (or set out to call a special meeting if the bylaws permit that) and make the motion. No need to explain why, although that will probably come out in debate.
