Rob Elsman Posted March 26, 2023 at 12:28 PM Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 at 12:28 PM Almost certainly. I recommend reading all of RONR (12th ed.) §41 very carefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once all the items on the agenda have been disposed of, and before the meeting adjourns, you may seek recognition to move an item of new business. Agenda items are matters that should be considered during a meeting, but that doesn't mean they're the only matters that may be considered--unless, of course, you have some custom rule that supersedes the ones in RONR.
