Gary Novosielski Posted May 10, 2011 at 10:35 PM Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 at 10:35 PM If a committee has never adopted Roberts Rules can they be held to this criteria?Committees don't typically adopt their own rules of order, or have their own bylaws. Societies do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Elsman Posted May 11, 2011 at 04:58 PM Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 at 04:58 PM If a committee has never adopted Roberts Rules can they be held to this criteria?If RONR is the society's parliamentary authority, then committees are bound to observe the rules insofar as they apply, noting especially those exceptions that apply specifically to ordinary committees. See RONR (10th ed.), p. 483, ll. 10-29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
