Guest Kimberly Fair Posted November 5, 2011 at 12:54 PM Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 at 12:54 PM Is it true that an action that is repeated year after year becomes a by-law? Where can I find this in RROO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstackpo Posted November 5, 2011 at 01:04 PM Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 at 01:04 PM But it does become a "custom" which, if it is not in violation of an existing rule, "should be adhered to" (RONR, p. 19), until the assembly (majority vote) decides not to.

Trina Posted November 5, 2011 at 03:19 PM Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 at 03:19 PM And, if the custom IS in violation of an existing rule, the custom 'falls to the ground' when challenged (same p. 19 citation) -- no matter how entrenched and habitual the custom may have become in the organization.

jstackpo Posted November 5, 2011 at 03:29 PM Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 at 03:29 PM Guest_Kimberly wouldn't have to put up with being told the rules piecemeal if she got and read the book for herself. ;-) or Or RONRIB, p. 87 ff.RONRIB:"Roberts Rules of Order Newly Revised In Brief", Updated Second Edition (Da Capo Press, Perseus Books Group, 2011). It is a splendid summary of all the rules you will really need in all but the most exceptional situations. And only $7.50! You can read it in an evening.

Where can I find this in RROO?Your bylaws will determine how they are to be amended, check there for this strange provision. You won't find it in RONR.
