Guest david arthur Posted August 2, 2015 at 05:33 PM Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 at 05:33 PM Our voluntary association generally does not use Roberts Rules, but our bylaws say that in unusual circumstances (where controversy is high) we can go to Roberts. How are Roberts Rules invoked during a meeting? Does the chair announce that we are now following those rules? Is a motion needed, and if so what must the vote be?

Shmuel Gerber Posted August 2, 2015 at 05:48 PM Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 at 05:48 PM I doubt we'll be able to give you a sensible answer regarding such an absurd provision, but you need to at least give an exact quotation of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gödel Fan Posted August 2, 2015 at 05:49 PM Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 at 05:49 PM What do you generally do? Do your bylaws specify any rules of order at all, outside of "unusual circumstances?" Can you show us the exact text of that bylaws provision?

Ultimately, it will be up to your association to interpret your bylaws. A solution may be to amend your bylaws - see here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
