Guest MEBA Member Posted October 22, 2010 at 07:11 PM Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 at 07:11 PM We have a member who brings forth a large number of resolutions during New Business. Now he will present a resolution. It does not get a second. He believes that the resolution should still go nationwide. present practice is it does get discussion or a vote because it didn't have a second.What is Roberts rules on this?

George Mervosh Posted October 22, 2010 at 07:12 PM Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 at 07:12 PM When a main motion dies for the lack of second, it's dead. It can be brought back to life it he can find someone to second it......but for now, it's dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he will present a resolution. It does not get a second. He believes that the resolution should still go nationwide. I don't know what you mean by "go nationwide." present practice is it does get discussion or a vote because it didn't have a second.What is Roberts rules on this?It's similar, with an exception for small boards and committees. See RONR(10th ed.), p. 34; also p. 35, l. 13-17. CORRECTION: The response immediately above assumes that MEBA Members' post was intended to read, "present practice is it does NOT get discussion or a vote because it didn't have a second."This post was edited due to a point made by Mr. Mountcastle.

So not so similar after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
