Voting Rights of National Assembly Members |
|
Concerning the election of alternate members to the National
Spiritual Assembly, I feel that only the nine original members of
the National Spiritual Assembly are entitled to vote, whereas such
alternate members as may be elected should be asked to fill vacancies
only in a consultative capacity and not be entitled to vote. They
should not be regarded as part of the quorum (i.e., five out of the
nine original members) which is necessary for the transaction of
the business of the National Assembly. All secondary matters that
do not affect the principle outlined are left to the discretion of the
National Spiritual Assemblies who will decide according to the
exigencies of their respective circumstances.
