As to not have to repeat the same
thing in numerous paragraphs, the following
fact is to be considered every time there is
any mention of the Board doing Club business
by email in each of the Plaintiff’s rebuttals:
The DFWMGRC is governed by Roberts
Rules Of Order, Newly Revised: “Efforts
to conduct the deliberative process by postal
or electronic mail or facsimile (fax)
transmission – which are not recommended –must
be expressly authorized by the bylaws and
should be supported by special rules of order
and standing rules as appropriate, since so
many situations unprecedented in parliamentary
law may arise and since many procedures common
to parliamentary law are not applicable (see
pp. 482-82).” The Bylaws for the DFWMGRC
do not authorize any such method.
However, telephone and email were the methods
used by the Club for meetings and voting
during this entire issue up until and
including the mailing of the charges preferred
by Debra Allen against the Plaintiffs.
Per RRNR, pg 332, “Motions that conflict with
the corporate charter, constitution or bylaws
of a society, or with procedural rules
prescribed by national, state, or local laws,
are out of order, and if any motion of this
kind is adopted, it is null and void.”
Therefore all motions with regards to the
disciplinary procedure against the Plaintiffs
should be considered null and void as all
procedures leading up to the charges preferred
against the Plaintiffs were done by email and
telephone communication.
