On Monday, April 5, I sent an email out advising that the below motion
had passed."That AIS accept the bid for Rogers Looseleaf for 200 binders including boxes and dye cast for $1410 plus $150 shipping to Oregon, and that these be offered through the storefront at $20 each plus shipping. But that AIS members receive a 30% discount, in other words they would pay $14 plus shipping. Also that AIS have a special pre-printing price of $12 each plus shipping for those orders received before April 30."The enail was based on a total number of votes received as set forth in Robert's Rules. However, there is a Standing Rule in place which supersedes Roberts's Rules. The Standing Rules states: "Approval of a motion discussed and voted on by electronic mail shall receive a minimum of 12 positive votes (based on 18 voting members - the President votes in a tie only" Based on the language contained in the Standing Rule, and the number of votes received, the above motion has in fact, not passed. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused. Michelle |
