Law/Patents - Law (general) / By-laws of a US organisation | | English term or phrase: by office | I'm translating the by-laws of a US organisation and feel uncertain of the meaning of "by office" at the end of the following sentence:
"The nominating committee shall make its report at least forty-five (45) days before the date of the election, and the secretary shall forward to each member, with the notice of meeting required by Article VI, Section 4, a list of candidates nominated, by office."
What is it referring to? |

| | English translation:ordered by the office for which they are nominated | Explanation:
It means they are listed in terms of the office for which they are nominated, so, for example:
President - Mr x, Mrs y
Secretary - Mr z, Ms a
Treasurer - Mr b, Mrs c
etc.
"ordered by the office for which they are nominated" would probably work |
