Robert's Rules of Order

hahaha! this is the book I used to "read" when I was 3 and couldn't actually read yet but wanted everyone to think I could. I carried it with me everywhere, and could often be found curled up in a corner, staring intently at the usually upside-down words.

Very informational. I learned a alot. But, one of the most boring books I have ever laid eyes on

There are lots of books with <i>Robert’s Rules</i> in the title. However, most of these books are earlier editions of <i>Robert’s</i> or knock-offs. If you are supposed to follow the "latest edition” of <i>Robert's</i>, this is your book--<i>Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised (11th Edition)</i>, published in 2011. Each new edition brings changes to procedure. The latest has 120.<br /><br />While <i>Robert's Rules</i> may not seem like a "let's cozy up with a book" kind of read, the book is a wonderful resource for anyone who has to spend time in meetings. And this newest edition is essential for groups that follow (or at least claim to follow) <i>Robert's</i>.<br /><br /><br /><br />

Outstanding bedtime reading -- guaranteed to put you to sleep in short order. For people who believe that organizational bylaws are to be "followed" and aren't just general guidelines to be followed or not as the mood beckons.Got this when searching how to "fire" an officer of an organization. It has the "how to" answers.

Although exposed to Robert's Rules in high school I never really got down to studying and regularly employing them until the responsibilities of chairing Socialist Party meetings was thrust upon me in the early eighties. Then, particularly at contentious sessions of our national conventions, having a common guide was of great help in managing--and sometimes manipulating--disputes and digressions.

Mercy...

Hope I can finish this sandpaper to my eyelids...

I vote this the most boring book ever to be penned by man..............zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...........

A short and outdated hornbook for a bureaucrat.

It collects and adapts the procedures of the U.S. Congress to make it popular among American civil organizations. It is currently the most widely used procedure of the United States.<br /> <br />Henry Robert was born in South Carolina in 1837 and died in 1923. Studied at West Point Military Academy. He is a brigadier general of the United States Army. His most famous achievement was the writing of "Robert's Rules of Procedure", which was motivated by a certain church meeting where he served as chairman. Robert failed at that meeting, so he determined to learn the procedure. Representative works: "Robert's Rules of Procedure" etc.<br /> <br />table of Contents<br />1. How to deal with affairs in the negotiation meeting<br />2. General classification of motions<br />3. Priority motion<br />4. Occasional motions<br />5. Subsidiary motion<br />6.

Officials and meeting minutes<br /> <br />The U.S. Army ranks are divided into three categories: soldier, warrant officer, and officer. Among them, the soldiers are divided into: recruits, second-class soldiers, first-class soldiers, technical soldiers, corporals, sergeants, sergeants, third-class sergeant major, second-class sergeant major, and first-class sergeant major. Warrant officers are divided into first class warrant officer, second class warrant officer, third class warrant officer, fourth class warrant officer, and fifth class warrant officer. Officers are divided into: second lieutenant, lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, brigadier general, major general, lieutenant general, and general.<br /> <br />A motion refers to a formal proposal made by a member of the deliberative body that adopts parliamentary procedures to take a certain action. It can generally be divided into 5 categories: active/main motion, subsidiary motion, occasional motion, priority motion, other active motion and unclassified motion.<br /> <br />The initiative/main motion is a motion for submitting a specific topic to the conference organization for deliberation. It has no priority, and it allows all priority, accidental and subsidiary motions to be dealt with first. The initiative can be debated, is subject to amendments, and can accept any subsidiary motions applied to it.<br /> <br />Subsidiary motions should be applied to other motions so that they can be dealt with most appropriately. With the help of subsidiary motions, the original motion can be modified, deferred, or entrusted to the committee to study and report, etc. Subsidiary motions can be applied to any initiative. After being proposed, they replace the initiative and must be resolved before the initiative is implemented.<br /> <br />Incidental motions are those that are caused by another pending issue, and therefore take precedence over the issue that caused them and must be resolved before that issue. Possible occasional motions include: rule issues and appeals, suspension of rules, opposition to consideration of an issue, splitting of issues, review paragraph by paragraph or article by paragraph, stand and re-vote, etc.<br /> <br />Priority motions are those resolutions that are so important that they need to take precedence over all other motions when it does not involve pending resolutions. Due to their high priority, they cannot debate and do not accept any subsidiary motions applied to them. Possible priority motions include: designating time for follow-up meetings, adjourning the meeting, taking a break, raising rights and interests, and requesting compliance with the agenda.<br /> <br />Other initiatives and unclassified motions. They are two active motions (revocation and approval) and some motions that are inconvenient to be classified as active motions, subsidiary motions, accidental motions or priority motions, and are commonly used. Such as: cancellation of shelving, reconsideration, cancellation, resubmission of a motion, approval, deliberate delay, unreasonable or time-wasting motion, etc.<br /> <br />“ Parliamentary Law (Parliamentary Law) originally referred to the conventions and rules used by the British Parliament to deal with affairs; later it referred to the conventions of general consultative conference organization. In the UK, the conventions of these parliaments form part of the unwritten law of the country, while in the United States In the legislature, they are authoritative under all circumstances that do not conflict with existing rules or precedents. "<br /> <br />Whether it is a country , a parliament or a company , they all need to carry out various forms of group discussions. One only needs to communicate with others. It actually constitutes a meeting. The most basic conference unit consists of 2 people. If we want to have fruitful discussions, rather than just aimless chats, then we need to understand efficient ways of meeting.<br /> <br />" The rules in this book are prepared to meet part of the needs of the conference organization. This type of conference organization usually does not have a legislative nature. These rules have been fully improved and can be used as conference organization rules. When the conference organization considers that it needs to adopt some special In terms of rules, these special rules can conflict with the detailed rules of this book, and can replace these detailed rules, such as meeting procedures. As mentioned above, the rules of this book are suitable for general consultation meeting organizations with a short meeting period and a relatively small quorum. , And based on Congress’s rules and practices to the appropriate extent. If there are any inconsistencies between the rules and Congress’s practices in this book, Congress’s rules are usually listed in the notes. Unless it is to understand Congress’s practices, otherwise, No need to refer to the notes. "<br /> <br />" " Accept "is equivalent to a report by the report, and should not" receive "a report to be confused," receiving "means the report will be submitted to allow its organizational session." Organizational session. "Word for Consultative Organization Conference , And should be replaced with the proper name of the organization in motions and other items, such as associations, clubs, churches, councils, congresses, etc. "Chairman" refers to the official who presides over the meeting, whether temporary or fixed. The terms "" and "House of Representatives" in this book refer to the U.S. House of Representatives. "One meeting" and "One session." "One meeting" in this book refers to members of a consultative group meeting for any length of time. And during the period, the members are scattered for a very short time, such as the morning meeting or evening meeting of a congress. In a society that stipulates regular meetings on a weekly or monthly basis, each such regular meeting is a separate " One session".<br /> <br />A meeting or special meeting called is an independent meeting. If a regular or special meeting is adjourned and held at another time, the subsequent meeting is a continuation of this meeting, not a separate meeting; these two meetings constitute one meeting. If a congress holds a meeting every year or every two years, or a series of meetings lasting several days, the entire series of meetings constitutes one meeting. "Pending" and "Pending immediately". When an issue is presented by the chairman but has not yet been finalized or provisionally addressed, the issue is called a pending resolution. If there are several issues pending, the final issue presented by the chairman becomes the first issue to be dealt with, and is called an immediate pending issue.<br /> <br />The "proactive discussion" is proposed to submit any specific topic to the conference organization. The initiative cannot be proposed when there are other motions pending. "Subsidiary motions" can be applied to initiatives and certain other motions to achieve the purpose of modifying them, delaying their actions, or handling them in other ways. "Priority motion", when it is not related to the question to be resolved, it needs to take priority over all other motions because of its urgency or importance. An "incidental motion" is a motion that is initiated by another issue that is pending or that has just entered the pending state. It must be resolved before the issue is pending or before other issues are dealt with. There is no fixed priority for an occasional motion, but it takes precedence over the issues that caused it, regardless of whether these issues are main issues, subsidiary issues, or priority issues.<br /> <br />"Voting now" (Previous Question in English, literally "previous issue".-Translator's Note) does not refer to the previous issue as its name suggests, but the name of a motion. The motion proposes to end the debate and will Immediately pending resolutions and other issues specified for voting. "Replacement" is a form of amendment, that is, delete the entire resolution, part of the resolution, or one or more paragraphs, and insert another resolution or part in this position Resolution, or one or more paragraphs.<br /> <br />"Relative majority", "more than half" and "two-thirds" received votes. In an election, a candidate who gets a “relative majority of votes” means that he gets more votes than other candidates; a candidate who gets a “more than half of the votes” means that he gets more than half of the votes except for the blank votes. The number of votes. "Relative majority vote" is never used in conference organization, unless there is such a requirement. In these rules, the use of "a majority of votes" means that in a legal meeting where a quorum is present, in addition to blank votes, more than half of the votes have been obtained. "Two-thirds of the votes" means two-thirds of the votes just mentioned . "<br /> <br />"After a conference organization is organized in accordance with Articles 69, 70, and 71, the members propose a motion or submit a letter to the conference organization to submit the affairs to the conference organization. Usually, no motion is proposed to receive committee reports or letters to the conference organization. Usually the formal procedure for proposing motions is skipped when dealing with general routine affairs. However, if any member objects, a formal motion must be filed, or the chairman can submit the issue to a vote without waiting for the motion to be submitted. "<br /> <br />" Before any topic is accepted for debate, it must go through the following procedures: first, a member who has the right to speak shall put forward a motion; then, the motion is seconded (except for certain motions); finally, the chairman, the official presiding the meeting, stating that the motion. a motion was proposed and seconded and can not get it to obtain placed before the organizational meeting, because only the chairman can do that. the Chairman ruled that the motion must violate anti-rule, or statement of issues raised by this motion, so that The meeting organization knows what needs to be considered and processed, that is, what is the issue to be resolved immediately. If there are several issues pending, such as a resolution, an amendment, and a motion for postponement, the last item stated by the chairperson is immediate Questions to be resolved. "<br /> <br />" Before a member proposes a motion, or speaks to the conference organization in a debate, he must have the right to speak-that is, he must stand up after the right to speak is handed over and call him by the official title of the presiding officer, for example "Mr. Chairman", "Mr. Chairperson" or "Mr. Chairperson"; or, if the chairperson is a woman (married or unmarried), call "Ms. Chairperson" or "Ms. Chairperson". If the meeting is organized If there are a large number of people and the chairperson may not know the name of the riser, the member should call the chairperson by his title, and report his name as soon as he draws his attention. If the member is eligible for the right to speak, as described below, the chairperson shall report "Approval" by means of his name, or assign him the right to speak.<br /> <br />If the scale of the meeting is small and the members know each other, you do not need to name the chairperson by title and then the chairperson only needs to nod his head to allow the members to have the right to speak. If a member stands up before the right to speak is handed over, or when the right to speak is being handed over, and someone else stands up after him and calls the chairman by his title, he will not get the right to speak. It is against the rules to stand while others have the right to speak, and the offender cannot claim that he stood up first because he did not stand up again after the right to speak was handed over. "<br /> <br />"A motion is a suggestion for the conference organization to take a certain action or express a certain point of view it holds. It is proposed by a member who has the right to speak as described above and says "I propose" (this is equivalent to Yu said "I suggest"), and then stated the actions he suggested to take. In this way, a member "proposals" (recommends) to pass, amend, or entrust a resolution to the committee, or propose public thanks; or propose "this The purpose of this meeting (or meeting organization) is industrial training..." etc. All resolutions should be written in writing, and the chairperson has the right to request any initiative, amendment, or instructions to the committee to be written in writing.<br /> <br />When an initiative is very important or very long and needs to be written in writing, it is often written in the format of a resolution, that is, starting with "decision," and emphasizing the word "decision" (in italics). Add a comma after it. If you use "I propose," instead of "decision", the resolution will become a motion. Resolutions are generally discussed on the initiative. In some parts of the United States, the word "decision" is often used instead of "resolution." In the organization of meetings with salaried employees, the instructions given to employees are called "orders" rather than "resolutions," and the prescribed term is "regulations" rather than "decisions." "<br /> <br />The discussion method given in Robert's rules of procedure is more formal and relatively complicated. In fact , if it's just a small-scale brainstorming discussion. It can absorb the essence of his thoughts and make necessary simplifications to the rules of procedure to make flexible adjustments according to actual conditions . But simplification does not mean abandoning the rules of procedure. We may be able to participate in various meetings, some meetings not only lengthy, but at the end of the meeting failed to produce a real constructive conclusions. This is a waste of attendees' time.
