jstackpo Posted December 13, 2010 at 12:51 AM Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 at 12:51 AM Seconds are not required for nominations at all -- RONR, p. 418. -- so no harm if the nominee seconds hs own nomination. Take it a statement that he is willing to serve.Likewise, if he wishes to volunteer, he can nomiate himself, but it is a tad more seemly if he can get a friend to do it for him.
