This term appeared in an agenda sent by an organization in Canada to which I belong. I've never encountered the term before nor can I find a reference to it in RONR.

As secretary of our organization I was asked to include the above as an agenda item. I have never heard of this before. Could someone please enlighten me?

Is "Old Business" a frequently used agenda item?

Thanks for all the clarifications! Most helpful. NancyB

Following a formal meeting, there can be an informal discussion among any participants who choose to remain. What is this called? I believe the phrase "general welfare" is part of the title.

Our organization has no rules for membership. If you pay the yearly fee, you are deemed to be a member. Recently, however, the President and Vice-President of our organization wanted to deny membership renewal to a long-time member. Their tactic: if she tried to pay in person, the cheque would be refused; If she mailed her cheque to the President, he would not cash it or he would return it to her on the grounds that the organizations name was incorrectly stated; the amount was incorrect, etc. He then told the individual that membership could be granted if she were to meet with the Vice-President who would tell her what she needed to do to have her membership renewed. Obviously, this is infra dig but, in the absence of rules, how should the organization have proceeded?
