Guest Nancy Belmore Posted September 3, 2010 at 11:05 PM Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 at 11:05 PM RONR carefully explains how to raise a point of order. However, it specifies that the Chair will rule on whether or not the point of order is well taken. But what if the Chair is out of order? What is the proper procedure in such a circumstance? Clearly, it would be inappropriate for the Chair to rule on his own behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he should not, the decision can be appealed. Even if he reverses and finds the point well taken, his decision can be appealed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
