TBear76 Posted June 3, 2020 at 08:58 PM Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 at 08:58 PM Hi everyone, I appreciate any help I can get on this... I understand the process for creating organizational Special Rules of Order to be contained as a special addendum in a society's bylaws. I also recognize that RONR has a process for creating Standing Rules for a convention. These require 2/3 vote at the start of the Convention and as RONR indicates... these usually are coming from a Committee on Standing Rules. For a one meeting AGM of a society that has RONR authorized in its bylaws that wants to adopt a set of rules to speed up the AGM (limit debate, instruct on electronic meeting rules, clarify assignment of the floor, etc.) would these be called Special Rules of Order... Standing Rules... or something different? That is question one... what would you call these? Also I am thinking that the advice in RONR about Standing Rules of a convention would apply (2/3 to adopt, cannot be seriatim, member can ask for indy rule to be pulled out for vote). Would you agree these rules for a convention Standing Rules would apply to these rules? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you agree these rules for a convention Standing Rules would apply to these rules? I'd call them "Standing Rules for the XYZ Society's 2020 AGM" (or some such thing), and yes, the rules in RONR relating to standing rules of a convention would apply, as you assume to be the case.
