Guest Justin P. Posted January 28, 2012 at 08:21 PM Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 at 08:21 PM So I have a business meeting coming up and I know for a fact that said person "A" is calling around to try and influence the voters to side with his proposal. I have members of the voting comittee who are willing to "testifie" that said person "A" did indeed try to influence them to side with his side. Is there anything in Robert's Rule on calling said person "A" out, dismissing his proposal, and having him removed from future meetings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, encouraging members to vote with you is an essential part of the deliberative process.(As an aside, I think this hardly qualifies as "Advanced Discussion" so you might expect it to be re-located.)

Thomas Ralph Posted January 28, 2012 at 08:43 PM Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 at 08:43 PM No there isn't. RONR is concerned primarily with things that happen in meetings. What people do in the restaurant, café, their own homes, or on the street is rarely covered by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just feeling some caution about the term 'business meeting'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that your objection to his actions is not founded in parliamentary knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g40 Posted January 30, 2012 at 02:38 AM Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 at 02:38 AM Why would you think this is, in any way, wrong or improper? When a members of an organization believe in the causes they support and advocate, shouldn't they inform others in the organization of the facts and their judgment and opinions?
