jstackpo Posted December 11, 2014 at 05:30 PM Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 at 05:30 PM Nope. If not voted on they remain as just a guidance memo for the chair. (It is not a requirement to even have a written agenda, although meetings usually go smoother when you do, adopted or not.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Martin Posted December 11, 2014 at 07:33 PM Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 at 07:33 PM Do meeting agenda have to be accepted by vote at the beginning of each meeting?Well, an agenda must be accepted in order for it to be binding, if that's what you mean. If your question is whether an assembly must adopt an agenda, the answer is no. Most assemblies will do just fine with the standard order of business.Would this allow the chair to act as gatekeeper and refuse cirtain items or members from being heard?No. With or without an agenda, the chair does not have such authority. The adoption of an agenda may affect when items of business are considered, but the adoption of an agenda, in and of itself, does not prevent the consideration of any motions. An agenda certainly has no effect on which members shall be heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
post54 Posted December 15, 2014 at 10:48 PM Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 at 10:48 PM If an agenda is motioned in as accepted with amendments does the secretary write 'person x motioned to approve the amended agenda' or would the secretary write 'person x motioned to approve and adopt the amended agenda.' Of course 'motion carried' would be written after either statement. Could you please also comment if your answer is also true or false with regard to The Minutes.Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hieu H. Huynh Posted December 15, 2014 at 11:02 PM Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 at 11:02 PM Post54, please post a new question as a new topic instead of adding to an existing thread. Think of this thread as Guest_KOZZEA's thread. This way, the answers to your question will not be confused with the answers to the question that Guest_KOZZEA had, especially if they're completely different situations, and Guest_KOZZEA comes back with follow up questions to the original topic.
