Guest Ann Posted March 13, 2016 at 08:59 PM Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 at 08:59 PM My board has a policy which states that our agenda must be followed, and that in order to change the agenda set by the chairman and executive member, there must be a unanimous vote of the board. This policy has been interpreted to mean that no motions of new business can be made without it being approved on the agenda. I contend that this is in violation of RONR. We follow "the most recent edition of Roberts Rules of Order". I cannot find anything specific in RONR which states that the purpose of New Business is to bring up new motions, whether they are specifically listed on the agenda or not. Please advise.

Why, incidentally, are we finding so many recent threads with subjects being a mode of address rather than a description of the content? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that field is labeled "Title:" on new topic page, instead of "Topic:" or "Subject:", as might reasonably be expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
