Members of an assembly
may attend meetings, make motions, debate, and vote
The actions of any deliberative assembly are subject to
the bylaws & other rules of its organization plus all applicable procedural laws
The basic principle of decision in a deliberative assembly is that
a motion must be adopted by a majority vote
When a decision is to be based on more than a majority vote, a common
requirement is a
two-thirds vote and/or previous notice
Two forms of a deliberative assembly are
convention and board
According to RONR and most state statutes, electronic meetings
may be conducted if provided for in the bylaws, everyone can hear each other at the
same time and additional rules are advisable
Admittance to a mass meeting
may be limited to the invited category
The local assembly of an organized society is limited to persons who
are recorded on the rolls as voting members in good standing
The bylaws of an organized local society usually provide that it shall hold
regular meetings at stated intervals
Large boards
generally follow parliamentary procedure the same as any assembly
The corporate charter should contain only
what is necessary to obtain it and to obtain the desired status under the law
The constitution or bylaws of a society should contain
its own basic rules relating principally to itself as an organization
Except for the corporate charter, the highest body of rules in a society is the
bylaws
The term rules of order refers to
the written rules of parliamentary procedure adopted by an assembly or organization
Standing rules, except in the case of conventions, are
related to the details of the administration of a society
A custom of an organization
falls to the ground if a conflict with a written rule is raised by a Point of Order
A two-thirds vote means two-thirds of those present and voting (T/F)
T
A series of meetings leading up to the organization of a society are in the nature
of Mass meetings (T/F)
T
The bylaws of a local organized society should establish a procedure for calling
special meetings (T/F)
