I am new to a Board that uses the Robert's Rules of Order. I am puzzled by their definitions though. They state that a vote to abstain is a no vote and a vote to pass is a vote not to vote.

Hello! I am struggling with understanding one phrase "point of personal privilege", since I am trying to translate it into Russian. I could not find it in the 1915 version of the Roberts Rules of Order. What I found though was a similar-looking phrase "question of privilege". Could you please advise me on whether point of personal privilege is the same as a question of privilege? I would very much appreciate your help! Respectfully yours

At a recent school board meeting, (7 member board), during an agenda item "Recess for presentations by district residents" the president stepped down and spoke as a citizen from the floor to compliment and thank a board member that lost the election after 12 years of service. Was the president required to "pass the gavel" during this time? A comment from someone in the community: "He ignored Robert's Rules of Order and policy, did not publicly pass the gavel, so there was no chair when he stepped down and announced he was speaking as a CITIZEN not as president of the board or as a board member. He resumed his seat and inquired if anyone else wanted to speak. He did not have to bother with re-assuming the chair. He created a void, left the citizens and all others without a chair, and why not? He is by his own actions a self important individual not to be questioned and certainly not to be held to account. He just did as most of the board members do, whatever he wanted to, to hell with the rules. Because he did not appoint a temporary chair, there was no one to rise to on a point of order, no one to protect the interests of the minority."
