I guess that's the challenge. When he injects his opinion which he often does, then we have an issue. I will continue to hash it out with our parlimentarian.

Ok,the friendly amendment thing might be our association bylaw. We have a weird color system too. The questions, maybe a poorly trained assembly. However, when does the chair move from answering questions to debating? I thought that was out of order?

Also, can the motion maker explain why a friendly amendment wouldn't be accepted?

But then how does the motion maker defend their motion? The chair can bias the motion being made?

You all are the best resource. When a motion is on the floor and members of the assembly are asking questions. Does the chair answer the questions or the motion maker? How is that determined? When does it become, the chair being part of the debate? Thanks

I believe a motion was passed on it but I don't think if addressed anything just that we would have electronic meetings.

Hi there, So, we had another rep assembly last night (approximately 90 people attend these). There were some attempts by the association to follow Roberts. However, the attempt seemed to make it less organized and less open. A few questions: Should the participant list be hidden? In a normal rep assembly in person, we would be able to see each other. Should the voting be hidden? Also, does it have to be a voice vote? Could the hand raise feature be used while everyone sees the participant list? Would a voice vote be required for every motion? Should the videos of the participants be hidden? We couldn't see each other which obviously in person, we could. Please help me give the right info, last night was an unmitigated disaster that felt like the representatives were being suppressed by the leadership.
