Guest Surfer349 Posted September 8, 2021 at 04:35 PM Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 at 04:35 PM So I've read through a bit and it seems that RR's allow for non-members to present, speak, and share information at meetings if invited and voted by the present members. Is this correct? Can anyone help point me to a specific RR# for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this correct? Yes, this is correct. A 2/3 vote is required to permit a nonmember to speak in debate on a pending motion. A majority vote is sufficient to permit a nonmember to address the assembly when no business is pending.

Guest Surfer349 Posted September 9, 2021 at 02:05 PM Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 at 02:05 PM does the Rule #'s change from edition to edition? I'm sorry, how to I interpret what "9:29, 25:9n7, 41:36" means? rule #'s? Article #'s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Mervosh Posted September 9, 2021 at 02:28 PM Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 at 02:28 PM Mr. Martin has provided citations from the 12th Edition which is the current one. If you are looking at Article numbers you're probably looking at the 4th edition online which is over 100 years old and isn't going to have the detail the 12th edition has.

Guest Surfer349 Posted September 9, 2021 at 10:18 PM Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 at 10:18 PM hmm....do you know what rule # that is specifically? http://www.rulesonline.com/rror--00.htm It looks like the online version is divided into Articles and Rule #'s.

If you want to know the current rules, you need to get the 12th edition, published in 2020. It's not available online, but is available as a Kindle edition (and soon to be available as a CD-ROM).

It isn't any of them because it's not the same book. The online version is from the 4th edition (1915), which is over 100 years old and eight editions ago. That text is available online since it is so old it is in the public domain. The rules have changed a bit since then. For example, the 1915 edition is rather lacking regarding information on electronic meetings. To get the 12th edition (2020) you have to actually buy the book. Or go to a library. https://robertsrules.com/books/ Edited September 10, 2021 at 01:20 PM by Josh Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
