Guest Karen Boon Posted September 21, 2019 at 06:45 PM Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 at 06:45 PM If, at a BOD meeting, there is an Open Forum afterward where each speaker has a 3 minute time limit, can 1 speaker relinquish their 3 minutes to another speaker so the 2nd speaker then has 6 minutes? What does Robert's Rules say about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted September 21, 2019 at 06:55 PM Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 at 06:55 PM RONR sez (p. 388) that members in debate cannot relinquish time to other member speakers, but if you mean non-members speaking at a hearing or the like, then that is up to the rules established for the hearing.

jstackpo Posted September 21, 2019 at 08:11 PM Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 at 08:11 PM No; they are subject to the rules that whoever is administering the open forum establishes. Page 96. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
