Assumed rights of nonmembers appointed to a committee

[Setemu]

RONR states that nonmembers may be appointed to a committee, "even to the position of committee chairman" (pp., 492-493), but I cannot find any discussion regarding the rights of those members in committee. I understand that nonmembers do not have the right to speak or vote in assembly meetings, but it would seem difficult for a nonmember committee chair to break a vote in committee if he or she does not have the right to vote in committee, even if not in assembly. So, my question is this: if an assembly nonmember is appointed to a committee, to any or no particular position, does that assembly nonmember have the same rights, as a member of that committee, as assembly members who are also members on that committee?

Nonmembers of any particular body do not have the right to speak or vote in meetings of that body.  Members of any body (by definition) have such rights.  People who are members of a committee, but not of an assembly to which the committee reports, have the right to fully participate in meetings of the committee, but not in meetings of the assembly.

And, under the small board rules, which would be followed in most committees, the chairman can vote on all questions along with the other members.  See page 488.

Thanks. Both of those answers help me gain clarity on a particular parliamentary situation I am dealing with.
