Guest YC1 Posted May 13, 2021 at 12:01 AM Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 at 12:01 AM How can you get added to an agenda meeting if the moderator is hostile to the subject you want to discuss? Can I just request that I be added to the agenda without submitting the actual motion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Katz Posted May 13, 2021 at 01:47 AM Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 at 01:47 AM You would move to amend the agenda while it is pending for adoption at the start of the meeting, if the item you wish to deal with is not on the proposed agenda.

A chairman has to act impartiality , it is a fundamental principle of parliamentary law. (Sadly it is not explicitly mentioned in RONR 47:7 , but it is mentioned in 3:9, 4:56, 43:29, and 47:12) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest YC1 Posted May 14, 2021 at 04:51 PM Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 at 04:51 PM Ok, another thought based on your comments: "In 47:12 appearance of impartiality is mentioned as a principle of parliamentary law (okay not fundamental)" If the moderator doesn't act impartially, how would you remove him as moderator?

Guest YC1 Posted May 14, 2021 at 04:53 PM Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 at 04:53 PM Further FYI: Our constitution and by-laws set up one board and numerous committees. This board and the committee members are voted on by the membership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
