Guest Norm Metcalf Posted December 18, 2015 at 06:43 PM Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 at 06:43 PM When is "Rising to a Point of Order" action to be used? Can it be used if the Chairman has allowed the meeting to get out of hand and if not what can be used by a member to bring meeting back to an orderly process? What about a Council Member?

George Mervosh Posted December 18, 2015 at 06:48 PM Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 at 06:48 PM Any member of the assembly that is meeting may raise a point of order if the presiding officer is not maintaining control of the meeting. If it's a chronic problem you'll probably need to look internally to your rules to deal with the presiding officer's neglect if this council is a governmental body.

A "point of order" is used to call attention of the violation of the organization's rules. A2.) Yes, a "point of order", or a "question of privilege", can be moved, as the situation warrants. -- For cross-talk problems, and shouting problems, a point of order is probably the preferred tool for the job. A3.) What about the "Council Member"? -- When a body meets, only members of the body which is meeting have the right to make motions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
