Denise has decided to withdraw her resignation from GSIS. Yea, Denise! Since I
wasn't sure how to handle this (a motion or vote required?) I looked at
'Robert's Rules of Order'. According to the bylaws: All business of this
organization shall be governed by 'Roberts' Rules of Order Revised.' This is
what I found:
'A resignation is a Request to Be Excused from a Duty. It may be withdrawn in
the same manner as any motion may be withdrawn -- that is to say, before the
proposed resignation has been placed before the assembly by the chair stating
the question on its acceptance, it may be withdrawn without the consent of the
assembly, but it may not be withdrawn without permission of the assembly once
it has been placed before the assembly for its approval.
[RONR<javascript:popUp('citation.html')> (10th ed.), p. 277-80; 283-85.]'
Since the resignation was not officially 'placed by chair stating the question
on its acceptance it may be withdrawn without consent.' In my thought, we
briefly discussed and I told Denise to think about it. She did and decided to
withdraw the resignation.
Twanda, will you amend the November minutes and note the resignation as
withdrawn.
