Non-Member Speaking

[jstackpo]

We all know, from the footnote on p. 263, that a 2/3 vote is required to allow a non-member to speak in debate, i.e. when a motion is pending.

However, is there anywhere in the book an explicit statement that a majority vote is sufficient to grant a non-member the opportunity to speak when there is nothing pending? (Perhaps the non-member wants someone the association to make a motion to support the non-members cause. Or whatever.)

[Rev Ed]

Sounds logical to me. Of course, approving an Agenda which includes a "Presentation" from a non-member, or a Board allowing setting aside time for general members to raise questions, would be accepted by a majority vote when the Agenda is set.

I think it would be covered under requests and inquiries, specifically e., on p. 299

But an explicit, express statement, no.

Tsk.

N. B. I still have not thoroughly fine-tooth-combed the 11'th Ed. So it might be an "Easter egg" for me. (and some of you.)

I thought you were perhaps trying to draw some attention to your post count in a not-so-discrete manner.
