George Mervosh Posted November 19, 2012 at 03:15 PM Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 at 03:15 PM No. A parliamentary inquiry is directed to the presiding officer. See RONR (11th ed.), p. 293-294 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Wynn Posted November 19, 2012 at 03:41 PM Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 at 03:41 PM Does the parlimentarian have to respond to a member demand for a ruling of Robert's Rules?A demand for a ruling is a Point of Order, and it is the duty of the chair to make any such ruling, except that he may turn the matter over to the assembly to decide.

J. J. Posted November 19, 2012 at 06:42 PM Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 at 06:42 PM Ah, this isn't a ruling.The chair is not "obliged" to answer hypothetical questions, but it is the chair's duty to answer otherwise (pp. 293-4).Bolded words added.
