Angie N Posted August 26, 2020 at 07:35 PM Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 at 07:35 PM If there is not enough time in a meeting to cover the business listed on the agenda, what is the best course of action to "reschedule" for another day/time?

Benjamin Geiger Posted August 26, 2020 at 07:58 PM Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 at 07:58 PM (edited) Option 1: The items on the agenda become "unfinished business" for the next regularly scheduled meeting*. See pages 358ff, RONR 11e, for more on unfinished business. Option 2: If you want to have more time to discuss the current topics, use Fix The Time To Which To Adjourn to create an "adjourned meeting". For instance: "Madam Chair, I move that when this meeting adjourns, it adjourn to meet at 8 PM on Friday, September 4th." See pages 242ff (ibid.) for more on Fix The Time To Which To Adjourn and pages 93ff (ibid.) for more on adjourned meetings. * If the two meetings are not separated by more than a quarterly time interval. (See page 90, ibid.) Edited August 26, 2020 at 08:00 PM by Benjamin Geiger Added caveat in footnote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
