RONR provides virtually everything you need to run your meetings (i.e. parliamentary procedure), and more, but says nothing specifically about your organization. Your bylaws will contain all the details and specifics about your organization, and possibly a few more items regarding parliamentary procedure. But there's little need to put any of that in the bylaws except where your ideas differ from RONR. Finally, the bylaws should include a section that states that RONR is the adopted parliamentary authority of the organization. This essentially means that everything that is in RONR is a part of your governing documents (bylaws), and can be referred to as if it was written right in there.Where you have included anything in your bylaws that is also included in RONR, what your bylaws say is supreme. You have to obey them on that point. So you want to be careful and selective about what you put in the bylaws that is already part of RONR, and only include items that you think must be there.
