| Approved Standing Rules of the
International
Guild of Glass Artists, Inc.
STANDING ORDER: #1 - Board of Directors Email
Procedures for Motion Discussion & Approval
Reason:
formal stages in a email-based motion (the decision
making process of the IGGA) allow that we cannot
all be talking in the same time frame when dealing
with these motions. Formalizing the motion process
into distinct stages, keeps us all on the same
stage of the discussion.
-
A Board Member makes a motion with supporting
argument.
-
A different Board Member seconds the motion
with support and additions.
-
An email discussion ensues. The motion is
amended in the light of the discussion and proposed
to the Board again. No vote is required until
the Secretary publishes the final form of the
motion and asks the Board for a vote.
-
The Secretary calls for a vote.
-
The motion as published by the Secretary
can be amended at this point also. All discussion
and voting on the amendment takes place first.
(any votes expressed on the main motion before
the amendment was made are not considered) .
The amended motion then becomes the main motion.
-
The Secretary publishes the amended main
motion and we vote.
-
The Secretary publishes the result of the vote by email.
-
The approved motion is published on the website.
