jstackpo Posted November 6, 2012 at 07:00 AM Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 at 07:00 AM I am afraid that your expectations are not going to be met. See p 362. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted November 30, 2015 at 06:30 PM Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 at 06:30 PM Member in question used very foul language. I thought an apology was in order since several female members walked out, after his explosive and vile outburst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time raise a point of order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought an apology was in order since several female members walked out, after his explosive and vile outburst.You should have raised a point of order immediately at the time that the breach of decorum occurred, rather than waiting for Good of the Order which is usually scheduled toward the end of the meeting, and is not intended for motions related to discipline for offenses within a meeting, since it is expected they will be dealt with swiftly at the time they occur. You also could have moved that the offending member be disciplined for his behavior--anything from a caution or censure to expulsion from membership, depending on the severity of the offense, if you had done so at the time, when all the witnesses to the offense were present. Waiting until later means a longer and more drawn out trial process, under the rules in RONR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gödel Fan Posted December 1, 2015 at 03:41 AM Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 at 03:41 AM Gary, I'm guessing that the foul language in question was used during Good of the Order, rather than happening earlier and only being complained about during Good of the Order.

Josh Martin Posted December 1, 2015 at 04:15 AM Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 at 04:15 AM Waiting until later means a longer and more drawn out trial process, under the rules in RONR. Depending on the circumstances, it may mean that it's not in order to discipline the member at all. "In addition, even when improper conduct occurs at a meeting, in order for disciplinary action to be taken other than promptly after the breach occurs, charges must be preferred and a formal trial held. However, the only way in which a member may be disciplined for words spoken in debate is through the procedure described on pages 645–48, which may be employed only promptly after the breach occurs."
