[Lnc-business] I am confused

[Sam Goldstein]

John, 

The delegates in convention can do pretty much whatever they want within
the bound of the Bylaws and Roberts.  We have had Bylaws and/or
Convention Rules that take effect immediately, the change to Approval
Voting for At Large and JC at Columbus that turned into a major fiasco,
for instance. 

ARTICLE 17: AMENDMENT
1. These Bylaws may be amended by a 2/3 vote of the delegates at any
Regular Convention.
2. Article 3, Section 1, or this Section, shall not be amended by a vote
of less than 7/8 of all
registered delegates at a Regular Convention.

Caryn Ann is correct in that the Bylaws cannot be suspended.  We cannot resume the election as unfinished business because all business terminated at the end of the convention, we didn't table it until the next meeting.
