35 HISTORY First edition Feb 1876 by army General Henry Martyn Robert Over 40 years of fine tuning Robert s Rules of Order (RONR) More than 5 million copies sold in the past 129 years Translated into Spanish, Korean, Russian and more Used by more than 85% of US organizations Now includes electronic meetings, voting, e- mail and the Internet Robert s Rules of Order is the greatest book ever written. Mayor Richard J. Daley, Chicago 1967
36 WHAT IS PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE? ROBERT S RULES OF ORDER (RONR) Method of defining the rules of a fight Creates fair and efficient atmosphere for group decision-making Ensures both minority and majority are heard in discussion It ensures efficient meetings and that all members have a chance to speak.
37 THE MAIN PLAYERS The Chair or Presiding Officer s number one job is to keep the main thing the main thing. They should be impartial, fair and openminded. They are to keep the assembly or meeting informed of the immediately pending question. They are to allow for full participation of the members to arrive at the best possible solution for the matter at hand.
38 THE MAIN PLAYERS Individuals who are expert in parliamentary procedures, rules, or debate are titled parliamentarians. Ensure a quorum is present so business can be legally transacted. Count the number of votes cast in the affirmative or negative. They listen attentively to group decisionmaking and inform the Chair or Presiding Officer of any actions to comply with RONR.
39 THE BASICS - 1 To facilitate working together and accomplishing the purpose not inhibit it. Spirit of fairness, courtesy and good faith are paramount. Only one matter is addressed at a time. Only one person can speak at a time.
40 THE BASICS - 2 No one can speak a second time until all who wish have spoken for the first time. Members have the right to understand any question presented during a meeting and to understand the effect of their decision.
41 THE BASICS - 3 Everybody s vote counts. The majority vote decides the issue. The rights of the minority are protected at all times. Speakers with opposing views should be recognized in turn.
42 THE BASICS - 4 No debate/discussion is permitted until a motion has been made, seconded, and stated by the Chair. If no limit is set by the organization s bylaws or rules, general parliamentary rule is 10 minutes per motion. One does not address remarks to another member. All remarks are made to and through the Chair.
43 THE BASICS - 5 During debate, no member may disturb the assembly by whispering, walking, side conversations, distractions, etc. The Chair may not interrupt the speaker, if rules are being followed and no disorder arises. Debate may be closed only with the consent of the assembly (2/3 vote).
44 THE BASICS - 6 During debate if a member calls for the previous question, it means to close debate. A motion is made to end the discussion. If passed, it puts the pending motion to vote. It is not debatable or amendable and requires a 2/3 vote. When a member states Division, it calls for a recount of the vote again. The member needs to be recognized.
45 CHAIR S RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN DEBATE To participate actively, the Chair must relinquish the Chair to the Deputy Chair of the Assembly who has not participated in debate. The Chair does not return to the Chair position until the pending question has been concluded.
46 WHAT IS A MOTION?? A main motion is a formal proposal or an action by a member or committee in a meeting that something must be made. Only one main motion should be placed before the assembly at one time. A motion always uses correct grammar.
47 SIX USUAL STEPS TO A MOTION 1. A member makes a motion after being recognized by the Chair, I move that 2. Another member seconds the motion (a person who wants the topic discussed before the body) 3. Chairs states the question on the motion. It is moved and seconded that Is there any discussion? Chair looks at the maker of the motion to see if he or she wishes to speak first.
48 SIX USUAL STEPS TO A MOTION (CONT.) 4. Possible debate on the motion. 5. Chair asks for votes. Are you ready for the question? (if there is no more debate) Those in favor, say aye. (Pause). Those opposed, say nay. 6. Chair announces the result. The motion carried (failed).
49 TO AMEND A MOTION A main motion has been made, seconded, and stated by the chair. After recognition by the Chair: Member: I move to amend the motion to (forms of amending could be to insert, to add, to place at the end, to strike out; to strike out and insert). Chair: It is moved and seconded to amend the motion by. Is there any discussion? Are you ready for the question? (Debate is on the amendment ONLY, not the main motion). This is no such thing as a friendly amendment.
50 TO WITHDRAW - 1 Before a motion is stated by the Chair, it may be withdrawn or modified by the maker without consent of a seconder. After the motion is stated by the Chair, it belongs to the assembly and permission must be given for its withdrawal. The objective is to prevent the vote from being taken and to keep the motion off the record.
51 TO WITHDRAW - 2 A motion may be withdrawn even if it has been amended. A motion may be withdrawn at any time before voting on the question has begun. Any part of a question which has been divided may be withdrawn without affecting the other parts. After a motion has been withdrawn, it is not recorded in the minutes.
52 TO LIMIT DEBATE After recognition by the Chair: Member: I move that debate be limited to 2 minutes per person on this motion. Another member seconds the motion. Chair: It is moved and seconded that debate be limited to 2 minutes per person on this motion. (not debatable, may be amended as to the time). All in favor of limiting debate to 2 minutes per person on this motion, rise (or show of hands). (Requires a 2/3 vote, count, if necessary. Be seated (or lower the hands). All opposed, rise (or show of hands). Be seated (or lower the hands.) There being a 2/3 vote in the affirmative, debate is limited to 2 minutes per person for this motion. Sergeant at-arms. Will count the number of votes cast by those who are standing or by a showing of hands.
53 TO STOP DEBATE After recognition by the Chair: Member: I move the previous question. (on all pending matters.) Another member seconds the motion. Chair: The previous question is moved on This STOPS all debate and amendments and to take a vote at once. All in favor or ordering the previous question on rise or showing of hands). There being a 2/3 vote in the affirmative, the previous question is ordered on. The question is now on the adoption of the motion to All in favor of the motion, rise (or show of hands). Be seated (or lower the hands). All opposed, rise (count). Be seated (or lower the hands.) Sergeant-at-Arms: Will count the number of votes cast by those who are standing or by a showing of hands and the number for a 2/3 vote.
54 POINT OF ORDER Although the Presiding Officer or Chair has the responsibility of enforcing the rules, any member who believes he/she has noticed a case where the Chair is failing to do so can, at the time the breach occurs, call attention to it by making a Point of Order (or raising a question or order, as it is sometimes expressed). The effect is to require the Chair to make a ruling on the question involved.
55 POINT OF INFORMATION A Point of Information is a request directed to the Chair for information relevant to the business at hand but not related to parliamentary procedure. When addressed to the Chair, it is treated like a parliamentary inquiry. No vote is taken on a parliamentary inquiry and point of information.
56 POINT OF PRIVILEGE Two types: 1) Those relating to the privilege of the Assembly as a whole. 2) A Point of Personal Privilege is a request directed to the Chair for personal comfort for such things as a break for the group. No vote is taken on a parliamentary inquiry and point of personal privilege.
57 PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY A Parliamentary Inquiry is a request for the Chair s opinion on a matter of parliamentary procedure as it relates to the business at hand not involving a ruling.
58 THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION What do you ask when you don t know what else to do? Mr. Chair, what will be the impact of this vote?
59 KNOW THE RULES! You don t need to be an expert just learn the basics. Don t be a member who gets bored with the business being conducted. If you have questions, ASK THEM! If you want information, ASK FOR IT. Take time to talk with your officers. They are more than willing to share!
