Robert's Rules - Rights of Third Parties Not on Governing Body/Board?

[Guest Michael Cosentino]

Does Robert' Rules of Order confer any rights on third parties?  Or do the rules only exist to protect members of the governing body?

Can a person who is not a member of the governing body raise a point of order?

If a third party takes action in reliance on an adopted motion by  a governing body, can the motion still  be rescinded if the governing body has not fully carried out the original motion?

The rules are to protect the assembly and the members of the organization. Nonmembers, which would include guests, have only those rights which the rules of the organization or which the assembly votes to afford to the nonmember. Guests do not even have the right to be present without the permission of the assembly or a rule or custom which permits it

No, but that nonmember can quietly and unobtrusively try to get a member to do so.

More information here would be helpful. If the motion has been partially carried out, generally the unexecuted part of the motion can be rescinded but whether that would be appropriate depends upon the exact circumstances.

I would note that are a few situations where non-members, with some association with the assembly, could have some rights within a meeting.   For example, a non member chair of a meeting could raise Objection to the Consideration of the Question, because that a duty associated with the chair.  In addition, a nonmember officer or nonmember that has been appointed to a committee may have certain due process rights that are established in RONR. 

Note that there must be some  previous association with the organization for this to come into play and that these rights tend to be much more limited than the right of a member.  A person walking in off the street could not exercise these rights.
