hmtcastle Posted December 2, 2010 at 03:45 AM Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 at 03:45 AM what is the appropriate way to "sign" the minutes after I have typed them up?You simply sign your name, followed by the word, "Secretary". For example:Margaret Duffy, Secretary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERY new to my position as secretary of my CSA......If you're referring to the archaic but still seen "Respectfully submitted," that's quaint but unnecessary.

Guest Mike Calise Posted December 3, 2010 at 12:41 AM Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 at 12:41 AM Can the floor vote to dispense the reading of the minutes ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Elsman Posted December 3, 2010 at 12:46 AM Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 at 12:46 AM Can the floor vote to dispense the reading of the minutes ?Yes. An adopted motion to dispense with the reading of the minutes has the effect of putting off the reading and approval of the minutes until some time later in the meeting, RONR (10th ed.), pp. 456, 457. Is this the effect you have in mind, or are you really asking about something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Martin Posted December 3, 2010 at 12:59 AM Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 at 12:59 AM Can the floor vote to dispense the reading of the minutes ?The phrase "dispense with the reading of the minutes" is a term of art in parliamentary law. Such a motion may be adopted by majority vote, and it delays the reading and approval of the minutes until a later time in the meeting.If what you mean is that you wish to approve the minutes without having them read, if the minutes have been distributed in advance, the minutes are not read unless a member requests it. If the minutes have not been distributed in advance, it is still possible to approve them without having them read by unanimous consent, but this is not advisable. Note that in either case, a single member may demand that the minutes be read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Novosielski Posted December 3, 2010 at 03:49 AM Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 at 03:49 AM Apparently he's looking for a third opinion. Okay, how about: "Yes, if the floor is a voting member in good standing." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
