  • June 15, 2021 Parliamentary Procedure Seminar
    June 15, 2021 Parliamentary Procedure Seminar Members have rights: [1:4, RONR1] Attend meetings Make motions Speak in debate Vote Altering the rights of members requires you to amend the bylaws! 10 Mistakes you learned from TV 1. Misuse of the gavel Rap once to signal call to order and adjournment. 2. Calling the question The motion to “Call the question” or to “Move the previous question” is not in order when another has the floor. It requires a second, is not debatable, and requires a 2/3 vote for approval. 3. Ex officio members can’t vote Ex officio members can vote just like other members unless the bylaws say otherwise. 4. Minutes The minutes should be a record of what was DONE at the meeting and not what was said by the members. 5. Applying open meeting laws or Frequently, neither applies. Usually the assembly US Constitution to private clubs may meet in executive session and may limit debate. 6. President is all-powerful The president has only those powers given by the members. They are usually stated in the bylaws or in an adopted motion. 7. Executive Board is all-powerful The board’s power to overturn actions of the membership is limited. 8. “Talk Show” Decorum The chairman is responsible for maintaining decorum at all times. 9. Tabling motions Normally the motion “postpone to a definite time” is meant instead. 10. Who seconded the motion? It is not required that the seconder of a motion be recorded in the minutes or even identified at all. 1 “RONR” is an abbreviation parliamentarians use to cite Henry M.

  • Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes
    Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes In order to have a record of meetings it is important to take minutes of the meeting. Many automotive instructors are unsure what should be included in the minutes and how much detail is required for future reference. Keep in mind that the minutes are a formal record of the meeting and should provide enough information so that anyone could review them and have a good understanding of the issues, the discussion, and the actions taken. It’s helpful to have an agenda for your meeting to move the meeting along smoothly. At a minimum, the following information should be included in the Advisory Committee meeting minutes: 1. Date, location, and time 2. List of members who attend and members who are absent 3. Old Business – review and approval of minutes from the last meeting 4. Discuss agenda items – summarize the discussion of each of the topics. If there was a motion for action, record who made and who seconded the motion as well as the results of the vote. 5. New Business (if any) 6. Set a date for the next meeting 7. Note the time of adjournment Please remember the NATEF Standards require that Advisory Committees review and provide input on programs. A summary of the specific standards that Advisory Committees should review are listed in Procedures Section in the Program Standards. Make sure that your minutes reflect a review of these topics. All these items may not be reviewed during the same meeting, but they must be reviewed. Meeting minutes may be recorded by anyone at the meeting, but the person responsible for conducting the meeting should not be responsible for recording the minutes.

  • Simplified Parliamentary Procedure
    Extension to Communities Simplifi ed Parliamentary Procedure 2 • Iowa State University Extension Introduction Effective Meetings — Simplifi ed Parliamentary Procedure “We must learn to run a meeting without victimizing the audience; but more impor- tantly, without being victimized by individuals who are armed with parliamentary procedure and a personal agenda.” — www.calweb.com/~laredo/parlproc.htm Parliamentary procedure. Sound complicated? Controlling? Boring? Intimidating? Why do we need to know all those rules for conducting a meeting? Why can’t we just run the meetings however we want to? Who cares if we follow parliamentary procedure? How many times have you attended a meeting that ran on and on and didn’t accomplish anything? The meeting jumps from one topic to another without deciding on anything. Group members disrupt the meeting with their own personal agendas. Arguments erupt. A few people make all the decisions and ignore everyone else’s opinions. Everyone leaves the meeting feeling frustrated. Sound familiar? Then a little parliamentary procedure may just be the thing to turn your unproductive, frustrating meetings into a thing of beauty — or at least make them more enjoyable and productive. What is Parliamentary Procedure? Parliamentary procedure is a set of well proven rules designed to move business along in a meeting while maintaining order and controlling the communications process. Its purpose is to help groups accomplish their tasks through an orderly, democratic process. Parliamentary procedure is not intended to inhibit a meeting with unnecessary rules or to prevent people from expressing their opinions. It is intended to facilitate the smooth func- tioning of the meeting and promote cooperation and harmony among members.

The parliamentarian serves as a consultant, especially in a meeting, where only the chair has the authority to rule on questions of order or to answer parliamentary inquiries. A parliamentarian must have a fair and impartial mind and attitude, as well as knowledge of parliamentary procedure. A parliamentarian in PTA – serving at any level – needs to have a fundamental knowledge of PTA and all of its governing documents – not only the vision, mission, and purposes but also the bylaws, standing rules, policies, etc. All members of the PTA, whether in a leadership position or not, should understand the fundamental rules of parliamentary procedure in order to preserve their rights and to know whether the procedures are being followed for the benefit of all members.

  • “Regular Order” in the US House: a Historical Examination of Special
    The Erosion of “Regular Order” in the U.S. House: A Historical Examination of Special Rules Michael S. Lynch University of Georgia [email protected] Anthony J. Madonna University of Georgia [email protected] Allison S. Vick University of Georgia [email protected] May 11, 2020 The Rules Committee in the U.S. House of Representatives is responsible for drafting special rules for most bills considered on the floor of the House. These “special rules” set the guidelines for floor consideration including rules of debate and the structure of the amending process. In this chapter we assess how the majority party uses special rules and the Rules Committee to further their policy and electoral goals. We explain the work of the Rules Committee and assess how the use of rules has changed over time. Using a dataset of “important” legislation from 1905-2018, we examine the number of enactments considered under restrictive rules and the rise of these types of rules in recent Congresses. Additionally, we use amendment data from the 109th-115th Congresses to analyze the amending process under structured rules. Introduction In October of 2015, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) was elected Speaker of the House. Among other promises, Ryan pledged to allow more floor amendments through open processes and to return the House to “regular order” (DeBonis 2015). Ryan’s predecessor, former-Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), had been aggressively criticized by members of both parties for his usage of special rules to bar amendments. Despite his optimism, many were skeptical Ryan would be able to deliver on his open rule promises.1 This skepticism appeared to be warranted.

  • About Minutes…
    13795 Chinguacousy Road, Caledon, ON L7C 3H4 ABOUT MINUTES… What are Minutes? The term “Minutes” is derived from a Latin term that essentially means, “small record”. Minutes as a corporate record are merely to consist of a brief, concise summary of the business transacted by the Board as a while and the decision taken by the collective group. Detail is limited to a brief summary of the issue(s) under discussion and the outcome thereof (i.e. Motion/decision or Action/direction). The information is to be included is merely to describe how the Board as a whole reasonably came to reasonable decision. It should always be kept in mind that Minutes are considered to be legal documents by Auditors, the tax authorities and the courts and represent the actions of the Board. Minutes should never become political in nature or present the various positions/agendas of the individual members, etc. Why are Minutes necessary? Minutes are produced as a legal record for the purpose of documenting the decisions that are made by the collective Board/Committee on behalf of the organization. Our company produces professional, unbiased and non-political minutes that do not reflect the ‘he-said, she-said’ micro-detail format that so often gets Boards into trouble when certain individuals view those types of Minutes or when they it the courts. It is important for Board members to have a proper understanding of what their minutes as a corporate record, should consist of. We take pride in being a neutral party and a team player in conjunction with the Board and management that can subtly provide direction and focus at meetings and be a positive influence on a Board.

  • A Guide for the Chairperson
    A Guide for the Chairperson If you are inexperienced in chairing formal meetings, such as the club Annual General Meeting or the monthly club meetings, this resource provides some helpful hints. The chairperson’s role is to control the meetings, accept motions and amendments, rule on points of order and see that the wishes of the meeting are carried out correctly and expediently. Meetings do not have to be run formally all the time and it is up to the chairperson to decide how formally the meeting will be run. However, there are times when you, as leader, must know the essential rules in order to: • give everyone a fair go; • cut out ‘waffle’; and • reach decisions. The Quorum The constitution may specify a quorum – a specified minimum number of eligible members who must be present at a meeting to make the proceedings valid at the specified starting time. If necessary, the chairperson may use his or her power to delay the appointed starting time to give every opportunity for the necessary number to be present. Upon being satisfied that a quorum is present, the meeting should be formally declared open. If the numbers at the meeting fall below the quorum at any stage during proceedings of the meeting, no further decisions should be made. Club rules may allow partial attendance at meetings and therefore the meeting can continue. 1. Agenda The agenda is the basis of any meeting and gives direction, structure and purpose to the meeting. The agenda should be drawn up jointly by the chairperson and secretary and should be followed in order, unless the meeting directs otherwise.

  • MINUTES: CONTENTS By: Steve Glanstein Professional Registered Parliamentarian
    MINUTES: CONTENTS By: Steve Glanstein Professional Registered Parliamentarian Introduction: This explanation of minutes is based upon the current edition of Robert=s Rules of Order Newly Revised 11th edition, (abbreviated RONR) pages 354-355 and 468-476. This article was originally published in 1998 and was based upon the 9th edition of RONR. Although the 10th and 11th editions of RONR made only minor changes to the require- ments for minutes, there has been an increased need to provide this information with updated references and a few examples to support the need for appropriate drafting of minutes. This article was recently printed in the CAI Hawaii's April 2015 Newsletter. This article is oriented towards Hawaii’s Condominium and Community Associations which are required to conduct their proceedings in accordance with RONR. Minutes-Defined: Minutes are the official records of the proceedings of a deliberative assembly. Hawaii=s condominium property regimes, cooperatives, community associations, and the board of directors function as deliberative assemblies. The minutes do not become the official record of the proceedings until they have been approved. The actions of an organization start immediately when a motion is adopted and not when the minutes are approved. Notwithstanding any official approval, minutes may be amended even years later by the motion to Amend Something Previously Adopted. There is no requirement that an individual be present at a specific meeting in order to be eligible to vote to approve that particular meeting=s minutes. Even if the regular secretary was not present at a specific annual meeting, the secretary, if a voting member, may still participate and vote, if necessary, to approve the minutes.
