I move we
adopt Robert's Rules Of Order, Newly Revised, as the basis for rules and
procedures at this Convention. In
addition, and part of this motion, I make the following additions to Robert's
Rules: 1) Friendly Amendments - An
incidental motion to the main motion shall be considered a friendly amemdment
in the first instance. A friendly amendment will be accepted to be part of
the original motion if it receives the concurrence of the maker of the main
motion as well as the second. If there is no concurrence, Robert's Rules for
incidental motions may be invoked (meaning an incidental motion is made,
seconded, debated and voted upon to make it part of the main motion before
the main debate contunes on the main motion). 2) Debate on any one main motion shall be limited to two posted
opinions from each of the members, unless there is an incidental motion to
extend debate (meaning it cannot be a friendly amendment). |
