Chris Harrison Posted November 23, 2011 at 10:06 PM Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 at 10:06 PM How about Ronert's Rules of Order In Brief, second edition (RONRIB)I think RONRIB is the best way to go because if there is some handout and there is some conflict with what RONR says you will likely get an argument started about which is right (we know RONR would be but that won't necessarily stop the headstrong people). RONRIB is written by the same folks who wrote RONR and unlike Robert's Rules according to Bubba or some other knockoff it is designed to be a companion which is fully in compliance with RONR.

It's just plain-vanilla parliamentary procedure (e.g. precedence of motions). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RONRIB is written by the same folks who wrote RONR and unlike Robert's Rules according to Bubba or some other knockoff it is designed to be a companion which is fully in compliance with RONR.And if more experienced members just want a really quick summary, they should look at pp. 194-197 of RONRIB.

Chris Harrison Posted November 23, 2011 at 11:03 PM Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 at 11:03 PM Well, yes, but I would hope that the "cheat sheets" offered on the NAP site are in compliance with RONR. It's just plain-vanilla parliamentary procedure (e.g. precedence of motions).I would hope so as well and they probably are. But I have seen things on the NAP site that might not necessarily comply with RONR fully (there are other parliamentary authorities out there) and I didn't want to have the OP buy them and find out that there was a conflict between the two. If the description of the cheat sheets were to specifically note that they were in compliance with RONR that would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msdpolich Posted November 28, 2011 at 06:24 PM Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 at 06:24 PM I think it would be wise for me to go ahead and purchase the 'in brief' version. Seems like it would be helpful for a new person to this scene like myself.I take it this is the correct one?http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/roberts-rules-of-order-newly-revised-in-brief-2nd-edition-henry-m-iii-robert/1101001915?ean=9780306820199&itm=5&usri=roberts+rules+of+order+in+briefWill this cause issues with using the latest edition? Our bylaws state that we are using the latest edition of the Roberts Rules of Order. Maybe Im just thinking about it too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted November 28, 2011 at 06:31 PM Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 at 06:31 PM Yup - that is the 2nd Edition which agrees with RONR/11th, and RONR/11 is indeed the "latest edition".'Course if your bylaws really say "Robert's Rules of Order" the "latest edition" of that book was published in 1893 -- time to update your bylaws, I'd say.

Chris Harrison Posted November 28, 2011 at 06:33 PM Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 at 06:33 PM RONR In Brief 2nd Edition is designed to be a companion text with RONR 11th Edition which is the current one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest edition of "Robert's Rules of Order" is the eleventh, which is the one we all refer to nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See RONR, 11th ed., pg. vii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
