Guest diane Posted January 7, 2011 at 04:33 PM Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 at 04:33 PM During a meeting an alderman was called out of order for directing comments and questions to the audience instead of the chair and was not allowed to continue. Is there anything in Roberts Rules that she could have done to continue her questioning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Mervosh Posted January 7, 2011 at 04:35 PM Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 at 04:35 PM There is no rule which says she couldn't continue if she was willing to conform to the proper rules of debate, and it is improper to direct your questions and comments anywhere other than to the chair.
