Future Agenda Items

[Guest yalex00]

At our last meeting, our Board requested information on a specific subject. We were not able to obtain any of the information yet, so we did not add it to the next board agenda, as there is nothing to report. One of our Board Member's claims that this is a violation of Robert's Rules of Order. I do not see how he is coming to that conclusion. Any information on where I could look for something like that?

I have no clue what he's talking about.  Ask him to produce a citation to support his position, but don't hold your breath.

Thank you. I did ask and his response was that I should know. I thought that he was wrong, but thought I'd check. I appreciate your help.

If your organization has adopted Robert's Rules of Order as its parliamentary authority, and if your board meets at least as often as quarterly, why is your board adopting an agenda for any of its meetings?

[Gary Novosielski]

And who is this "we" and what is "our" relationship to the board?

It is up to the  person who makes the claim to supply the citation.   If it violates RONR, he should be able to supply the page and line number where the rule can be found.

I'll bet nobody here can see how he is coming to that conclusion either.  So it doesn't matter where you look for something like that, you won't be able to find it.  And more to the point, neither will he.
