RE: Policy re wild iris plants

["E. R. Epperson" <kirklee@triad.rr.com>]

This is not a matter of Robert's Rules of Order.  It rests in the fact that
I, as presiding officer of AIS, do not have the unilateral authority to
refer any extant or pending policy to committee, standing or ad hoc, without
approval of the Board of Directors.  Thus the motion that has been made and
seconded and is now in discussion is the proper procedure, frustrating
though it may be to some.

E. Roy Epperson
President, The American Iris Society

I am not a student of Robertbs rules but it seems to me that the sense of
the board is to have a well worded motion coming from a discussion of the
scientific committee. I talked to Gary White who has been ill with a cold
and
others on the committee and the committee is willing to work on this.
Therefore I so no reason to have a motion just to send it to committee,
since
we have already agreed to have another vote when it comes back from
committee.
Therefore I like to suggest we stop this process and wait to do it after a
motion is presented from the science committee. Why do we have to do this
three times when we could do it only twice.  Besides according to the
present
rule, which I think should be amended, we canbt carry on any other business
while discussing this.

As long as it works for you, it works for me.
