Guest Jim H Posted April 29, 2015 at 04:33 PM Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 at 04:33 PM Hi, all. I have always understood that only items on the agenda may be brought to a vote, that if it is something in no way related to anything on the agenda. I've been told this is incorrect. Can you help me clarify one way or the other? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Guest Posted April 29, 2015 at 04:53 PM Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 at 04:53 PM Some agendas are very specific. Some agendas are very general (basically a modified Standard Order of Business). And many successful meetings take place without an agenda at all. In any case, an agenda can be amended. See FAQ #14.

See FAQ #14.If the agenda is a strict one, with individual items listed, and the agenda is not amended, can items be brought up that aren't on the agenda and voted on? I'm trying to figure out where I got this notion. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to figure out where I got this notion. Thanks. I'm reminded of this post by Mr. Martin, who was remembering what Mr. Elsman said back in the day. To my knowledge no one here has disagreed with that opinion, yet. http://robertsrules.forumflash.com/index.php?/topic/19874-motions-during-meetings/?p=105359 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
