Guest PEF Posted November 28, 2012 at 08:55 PM Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 at 08:55 PM The constitution states that Roberts Rules shall apply.Does this mean that the agenda is the normal order of business aas stated in RR?An proposed agenda is mailed to members.Can members, then at the meeting change the order of business as the agenda is being approved?Does this require a suspension of the rules of the Constituion?Can the Constitutiton rules be suspended?

Guest Edgar Posted November 28, 2012 at 09:58 PM Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 at 09:58 PM For agendas, see FAQ #14. But don't confuse an agenda (which you may not even need) with the Standard Order of Business. And don't count on suspending anything in the constitution.

Chris Harrison Posted November 28, 2012 at 09:59 PM Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 at 09:59 PM See FAQ #14. However, using an agenda is not the normal order of business under RONR. See RONR pp. 353-363 which discusses the Standard Order of Business which should be sufficient for most organizations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Britton Posted November 28, 2012 at 10:07 PM Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 at 10:07 PM In general, bylaws cannot be suspended. HoweSee FAQ #14. However, using an agenda is not the normal order of business under RONR. See RONR pp. 353-363 which discusses the Standard Order of Business which should be sufficient for most organizations.After reading FAQ #14 and pp 353-363, also read p.372. Even when an order of business is specified in the bylaws, its considered a rule of order. In this instance, an assembly may adopt it's own non-standard order of business, by a two-thirds vote.
