Post Bylaw change proposal Judah4Him
I have heard rumors of a proposed bylaw change that will be attempted as a motion at this assembly for each state to elect their state overseer instead of appointment by the EC. Could be interesting.

Thoughts?

It is not on the current agenda approved by the Executive Council.
And I don't think any such measure could be presented at the assembly to the motions committee because I'm pretty sure it would require prior notification.

Any chance that the body could waive the "prior notification" claus if a motion is a REALLY good idea? lol

Didn’t they have a situation several years back (I’m thinking it was in the early 2000s) when they finished the whole agenda and somebody made a motion to reduce the TOT immediately from 15% to 10%? I heard it almost passed at the time. [Insert Acts Pun Here]

You are correct. If the agenda is completed, the motion committee can present motions from the floor. That has happened many times over the last several years. However, a change to bylaws requires previous notice and a motion to change a bylaw is not permissible without proper previous notice.

Thanks for the clarification.

I took 'Parliamentary Law' once under L.B Thomas in the 1950s. It was not Roberts Rules of Order and I cannot remember what the procedure was called, but it was used in General Assemblies for years before Robert's.

Some parliamentary procedure was used once to get a motion on the floor without using the normal roads. I want to think it was in an open service in the evening and the chairman was forced to open a business session. Confused It had to be in the early 60's.
