This post is intended to allow Delegates to provide motions they would like to have discussed once this blog is called to order. If a discussion item is seconded, I will produce a new post on that discussion item.
Please do not discuss ideas that have been presented at this time.
I propose that the committee discuss Robert's Rules of Order's recommendations regarding electronic meetings on page 97-99.
ReplyDeleteSpecifically, we the published rules do not address the following concerns itemized on page 99:
1) the type of computer equipment or computer software required for participation in meetings, whether the organization must provide such equipment or software, and contingencies for technical difficulties or malfunctions;
2) methods for determining the presence of a quorum;
3) the conditions under which a member may raise a point of order doubting the presence of a quorum, and the conditions under which the continued presence of a quorum is presumed if no such point of order is raised;
4) methods for seeking recognition and obtaining the floor;
5) means by which motions may be submitted in writing during a meeting; and
6) methods for taking and verifying votes.
