Edgar Guest Posted May 8, 2015 at 12:18 PM Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 at 12:18 PM It's not every day that decorum in a deliberative assembly makes it into the news but it did today, on NPR's "Morning Edition". Click here for the story. Included are excerpts from 16th-century rules for the House of Commons with a link to the source, The Constitutional History of England in Its Origin and Development.

DrEntropy Posted May 8, 2015 at 04:58 PM Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 at 04:58 PM Although not strictly about RONR, I do appreciate the link as it gives some interesting historical background! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted May 8, 2015 at 05:40 PM Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 at 05:40 PM The last few paragraphs do suggest that politicians, or other speakers at deliberative assemblies, should start twerking each other. Something for RONR/12 to suggest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Martin Posted May 8, 2015 at 06:26 PM Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 at 06:26 PM But no mention of Robert's Rules?This isn't too surprising. Most state legislative assemblies use Mason's Manual of Legislative Procedure (although that isn't mentioned either). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
