Two Questions

[Bro. Chris]

1) If a special meeting is called for the purpose of changing minutes from a previous meeting does it require a 2/3 vote or just a majority?

2) If a motion comes from a committee does it require a second on the floor?

[George Mervosh]

1) Majority vote will suffice.

2) Not if the committee has more than one member serving on it.

[Dan Honemann]

1) Majority vote will suffice.

Maybe.

1) Special meetings are for dealing with items that require urgent attention and that can't wait until the next regular meeting. So is this change that important? Generally, special meetings don't approve minutes of previous meetings, but since you're going for Amending Something Previously Adopted, that requires a 2/3 vote, majority with notice, or majority of the entire membership.

2) If the committee has two or more members, no.

[Shmuel Gerber]

1) Majority vote will suffice.

2) Not if the committee has more than one member serving on it.

George, wouldn't the answer depend on how specific the notice of the special meeting is?

Of course. My answer wrongly assumed compliance with previous notice as well as the call to a special meeting. I wasn't confusing the two this time

Thanks!
