    1. [BOARD] Point of Order - Still first before the Call the Question
    2. W David Samuelsen
    3. It's illegal to vote on an illegal motion. Sturgis page 87, "POINT OF ORDER, Purpose, To call the attention of the assembly and of the presiding officer to a violation of the rules ...." Sturgis page 221, Rights of Members #11, "To have a fair hearing ...." Sturgis page 221, Rights of Members can only be limited by a specific limitation in the bylaws. The Rights of Members to have a fair hearing, cannot be limited or denied in Procedures. The reason for this is so a minority (14 members of the AB) can't deny or limit the rights of the majority (1,794 USGenWeb members). Therefore this is an illegal motion. W. David Samuelsen SWSC
