Chris Harrison Posted May 15, 2014 at 10:42 PM Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 at 10:42 PM RONR doesn't define "terminating a meeting." Maybe it means the same thing as adjourning the meeting or maybe your organization considers "terminating" and "adjourning" different things1. 1 Maybe this organization has Arnold Schwarzenegger as a member and when he is presiding and the meeting is adjourned the others refer to it as having been "terminated."

I hate to disagree with such a seemingly sensible answer, but ..."An adjournment (that is, the act of the assembly's adjourning) terminates a meeting; it may also end the session."

(RONR, 12th ed., p. 82) I call no fair citing the 12th edition when we're all still using the 11th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Martin Posted May 16, 2014 at 04:04 PM Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 at 04:04 PM According to Robert's Rules of Order, what is the difference between adjourning a meeting vs. terminating a meeting? None. If you could explain what people think the difference is, we might be able to figure out what they were really thinking of (although it's also possible that they're simply making things up).

Guest BC Posted May 19, 2014 at 08:50 PM Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 at 08:50 PM Could you explain the different ways in which adjournment can be used in a meeting? I'm trying to understand the difference between an adjournment that concludes a meeting, and an adjournment that temporarily stalls a meeting (i.e. the business of that meeting will be continued where it left off at the next meeting).
