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." |

Our church is governed by by-laws that declare all motions must pass by a 2/3 vote of the members present. At our last meeting, a committee made a recommendation without stating it as a motion. The moderator did not state it as a motion, but they took a vote on the recommendation which was to incorporate a revised salary sheet into the proposed 2008-2009 budget. The budget was on the agenda to approve later in the meeting. The moderator called for a vote and stated that it passed. Later they told us that we had approved the salaries and information in the sheet when we took that vote. Later in the meeting, we learned by the moderator's own statement on a subsequent issue that he was only looking for a majority vote. Wouldn't that make the vote null and void since there was no way to go back and determine for sure that the 2/3 rule was satisfied? I was sitting in the front of the room and am sure that it did not pass. Isn't it also correct that a 2/3 vote has to pass with 2/3 of the members present (as stated in the by-laws) therefore meaning that people who abstain count as negatives? |

Hello,
I need your guidance about this matter. In the bylaws/constitution it is stated that after a quorum is reached a vote can be conducted, and that all of our sections in the bylaws/constitution state that a ¾ majority rule is required to pass any resolution. Is this against the rules or can we leave this as it is?

At our next regular business meeting, I want to address the church on a pervasive and long-standing problem that many are aware of, but that has never been brought into the open. I have no motion to make; I merely want to get the issue in the open so that we can either acknowledge it or continue to ignore it. If we acknowledge, it could, eventually, affect every facet of our church life.
Our church has been going downhill for thirty years, and if we do not change, we may soon reach the point of no return.
How do I go about getting the floor to do this? Do I raise a point of personal privilege, or what? Thank you for your help. |

At last yr's AGM, a motion passed to appoint a firm to review the year's financials. However, due to lack of funds for an external review, the trustees engaged an internal 3rd party to provide an inspection of financial records. Does this yr's AGM need to rescind last yr's motion prior to receiving the report of inspection and moving into the adopting the budget? Or, proceeding directly to a motion to receive statements and then approval of them? |

Hello, I would like to know the proper procedure for establishing quorum when there is a conflict of interest. Our board has 4 members and 1 pastor which can vote if needed in case of tie. Our situation was:
one board member and the pastor were in a conflict of interest for the issue at hand, and therefore did not vote, and one board member was not present at that meeting as they were out of the country. Therefore I see it that only 3 members were allowed to vote, 2 were present, therefore quorum was established and there vote on the matter should carry. Is this correct? and did it follow Roberts Rules of Order?

Our board members are elected by the parents of our Association each year. Can 6 members of the board call a secret meeting, leaving out some members there right to vote?. So they can vote out the President. Then can they hand pick new members to fill the board? Our by-laws state the President shall reside at all meetings. The problem members will not attend any called meetings by the President,(our quorum is 6)( we usually only have 4)Our By-laws state if members miss more than 2 meeting they can be removed. They are acting like they control everything . What can i do, with these 6 members ??? |
