How are members of a special committee typically chosen?

Members of a special committee are typically chosen as specified in the motion to commit if the bylaws are silent. This means that in the absence of specific rules laid out in the organization's bylaws, the procedure for selecting members will be determined by the motion itself. The motion to commit outlines the purpose of the committee and may include details about how its members should be selected, ensuring that the selection process aligns with the intended function of the committee.

This approach provides clarity and allows for flexibility, as it can be tailored to fit the specific needs of the committee's purpose while also adhering to the overarching rules set forth in the organization’s governing documents. Ensuring that the selection method is explicitly stated helps maintain order and transparency in the process.
