Guest Christopher Posted January 11, 2011 at 01:04 PM Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 at 01:04 PM If By Laws state the Board may appoint "Standing" Committees each year does this mean that each year they are "required" to be "Re-appointed"? Also, if it is decided to replace a committee member is it not considered fair if all are not replaced? I know it sounds silly but for argument sake.

George Mervosh Posted January 11, 2011 at 02:30 PM Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 at 02:30 PM We dont' do bylaw interpretations here. Your second question isn't even procedural. The appointing authority can replace any/all of the members as they see fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general:For any position which does NOT have a fixed term of office, such as committees, the term of office implied is, "Until the appointing party ends the term of office", either by straight removal, or by choosing a successor.Thus, there is no automatic end of a sitting committee member's term of office by sheer passage of TIME.But be aware when the committee itself does end.• A non-standing committee will end when the committee gives its final report.• A standing committee never stops existing. -- If a standing committee was created by rule, the rule must be rescinded. If a standing committee was created via a motion, a counter-effect motion must be adopted.Also, if it is decided to replace a committee member is it not considered fair if all are not replaced? The Book never says.It might be fair. It might not be fair.But no parliamentary rule exists which will tell apart which method is "fairer" than the other method.
