Brought to my attention, thank you. My final argument and comment. an excerpt from Roberts' Rules.......... The committee's report1 can contain only that which has been agreed to by a majority vote at a meeting of which every member has been notified, or at an adjourned meeting thereof (a quorum, a majority of the members, being present), except where it is impracticable to have a meeting of the committee, when it may contain what is agreed to by every member. If a committee is appointed from different sections of the country with the expectation that its work will be done by correspondence, its report can contain only what is agreed to by a majority of the members. ************************************** If this is true then a copy needs to be sent to be sent to committee chairs. I know of one committee where a couple of the members were not even aware of major changes being made. ================================================================== Sally www.embroiderybysally.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
