I hadn't considered that. I'll add some additional color the statement from above (quoted below).
In this exact situation, the Agenda appeared as follows;
During the meeting the Chair rapidly moved from 12.5 to 13 w/out asking, "Is there any new business?" as outlined in 41:27. A Point of Order was raised and the member was allowed to proceed with making a motion (as indicated above).
My take on "New Business" is that 41:27 is applicable even when an agenda has been accepted and that the Chair should ask, "Is there any new business?" before moving on to the next item. However, it sounds as if my interpretation may be incorrect.
If the adoption of an agenda curtails members from making motions (unless extraordinary circumstances exist), doesn't that effectively silence the minority? My understanding is that RONR respects the fact that majority rules while still protecting the voice of the minority. If a minority can be silenced simply through the application of an agenda, doesn't that defeat the purpose and give the Chair a near monopoly of power? Sure, an amendment to the agenda can be offered but under that scenario, debate on the merits of a given point won't occur unless the amendment passes. Furthermore, in a scenario where an agenda is regularly adopted, other than changing a vote threshold for something that may never be added to the agenda, what is the point of giving notice of a planned action (10:44-51).
