Guest Guest Posted September 16, 2013 at 04:09 AM Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 at 04:09 AM If the Bylaws state: ARTICLE XXII — RULES OF ORDER Robert's Rules of Order, Newly Revised, shall prevail at all meetings, when not in conflict with existing state and federal law or these Bylaws. A member is citing from the 11th edition but the Parliamentarian is only accepting the 10th edition references. What is the protocol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. J.

"Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised.. without specifying a particular edition (p. viii.)." The 11th edition is the proper one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shmuel Gerber Posted September 17, 2013 at 07:09 PM Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 at 07:09 PM The 11th edition "is intended automatically to become the parliamentary authority in organizations whose bylaws prescribe... "Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised.. without specifying a particular edition (p. viii.)." The 11th edition is the proper one. But will that be enough to persuade the ludicrously obstinate (and maybe penurious, or just plain miserly) parliamentarian? After all, the 10th edition says the same thing.
