Voting on a topic brought up in new business


Guest Patty

Recommended Posts

When someone brings up a topic during "new buisness" which was not on the agenda is it within the rules to then, make a motion and have a vote on that topic, if it was not on the agenda?

The purpose of the heading New Business is to introduce new items of business, which come in the form of motions. Setting certain matters on an agenda does not prevent business from arising under New Business.

It was on the Agenda. Under the topic "New Business".

That information is not in keeping with Patty's hypothetical question.

It seems to me that it was, although Guest_Patty didn't realize it. How do you figure it wasn't?

I suspect that the point being made by Robert and Nancy is that if "new business" is on the agenda, anything qualifying as new business is on the agenda. :)

Ah, so Robert and Nancy are committing the capital crime of considering "agenda" and "order of business" to be inherently synonymous and incapable of coexisting.

I suggest we throw the book at them, opened to section 41 of course.
