[Lnc-business] draft minutes of 3/7/15 EC meeting

[Daniel Hayes]

Seconds are not required information in minutes as per RONR believe it or not. However while I don’t think they do I am not familiar if our rules dictate that we must.
"The name of the maker of a main motion should be entered in the minutes, but the name of the seconder should not be entered unless ordered by the assembly.(RONR 11th ed. p.470.ll.26-28.)
Borrowing a line from PRP Josh Martin, "There is no statement in RONR which suggests that the fact that a motion was seconded should be included in the minutes. It is not one of the items listed on pgs. 468-471, and it does not appear at all in the sample minutes on pgs. 472-473, even though the main motion by Mr. Gordon, the amendment by Mrs. Thomas, and the motion to commit by Mr. Dorsey were all probably seconded.”
