George Mervosh Posted August 12, 2011 at 07:21 PM Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 at 07:21 PM Yes. Hopefully the chair paused to be sure there was no objection. See RONR, pp. 51-53 for full details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the example given, it would depend how the members interpret what was said -- one way would be that there is no objection to having lunch but the expense has not been approved, and another would be that the body is approving providing lunch. The assembly would have to interpret the actual meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
