Guest JB1 Posted January 7, 2011 at 04:15 PM Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 at 04:15 PM If we have multiple meetings in a day with different members, how are motions and amendments to motions handled? Situation: During the first of four meetings, a previously posted motion is voted on. The vote is passed in favor of the motion. During the second meeting, the motion is amended.Question: Does the third and fourth meeting vote on the amended motion, and the first meeting vote on the amendment during the next session?

Gary Novosielski Posted January 7, 2011 at 05:00 PM Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 at 05:00 PM You might find this AIP article on shift meetings helpful.Right. This is NOT a simple case of a session consisting of multiple meetings. This is a series of meetings scheduled to allow people to attend ONE and only one of the meetings. Virtually nobody is present at more than one meeting, so the motions are identical (presumably) at all four meetings, and the vote is combined from all four to determine if the motion passed.Highly unusual and certainly not covered in RONR, but the AIP article was good reading.
