Rev Ed Posted December 4, 2010 at 02:35 AM Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 at 02:35 AM While we are at it, check with the organization's own documents which will supercede anything in RONR. The By-laws may describe a different procedure for discipline, or may allow an organization to refuse a membership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Martin Posted December 4, 2010 at 03:09 AM Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 at 03:09 AM Since I don't have the book, can you give me a short brief on this?I would not advise initiating disciplinary procedures without reading Ch. XX of RONR in its entirety. It is a lengthy and complex chapter dealing with a very delicate issue. No "short brief" is sufficient. If you don't have the book, get it.would this be a trial or can it be as simple as two-thirds vote or majority vote of its members?A trial is one of the many steps involved in the disciplinary process.This member is not a elected offical, just a regular member.Well then, you can't bypass the procedure.

Josh Martin Posted December 4, 2010 at 07:25 AM Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 at 07:25 AM Kim laid out steps for removal, #1 set up confidential committee, how is this done if the subject is a member of the board?A motion is made at a meeting of the general membership to appoint a committee to investigate allegations related to the member's misconduct. The fact that the individual in question is a board member is irrelevant. It is the investigation and deliberation of the committee which is confidential, not the committee's existence or membership. See RONR, 10th ed., pgs. 632-633 for more information on this step in the process. And read the rest of Ch. XX while you're at it, if you intend to proceed with disciplinary action.
