Parliamentary Procedure Basics

[@Lili-qk2bd]

Thank you for this video. It was easy to follow, well filmed, and explained the procedure in an easily understandable manner. I will be referring to it frequently. This is the most helpful parliamentary procedure I have found.

[@BxCortez2050]

I second that

[@Sunny-day8090]

Thank you so much I was struggling to find a video that showed the practical application and order of the motions and this helped a lot!

[@joanneconrad3987]

These young folks nailed it! After reviewing many other videos about Parliamentary procedures. all other videos pale by comparison.

[@Endergamer-pp9dl]

I completely agree!

[@francisinman]

Well done. Best video I have found on basics.

[@GlennLaycock]

Laying on the Table - interesting how in the USA they use it similar to Postpone until "whatever .. including indefinitely" - however Tabling in "the Commonwealth" is really just setting something aside to do another item that is more important or more logical to "bump" an item (so I used in once very similar to this example where someone was arriving late who was involved in the motion) - the INTENT is to actually get back to it and if you don't it comes up on the next meeting (if moved and seconded to take from the table). Tabled items cannot stay there for more than one meeting AND are really illogical (not allowed) when your meetings have too much time between them - I'm told that more than quarterly you best go back to refer, postpone or postpone indefinitely.

[@BxCortez2050]

wow ..I've been doing ( participating ) all my life with this form of doing meetings and never knew there was a name to it

[@jdshaw83]

Just FYI: That's not the proper use of the motion to lay on the table. You use table to temporarily set an issue aside while attending to more urgent business. Ex: "Mr. President, I move to lay this motion on the table since our guest speaker has arrived." Then after the guest speaker, you take from the table. In the video, the motion to postpone should have been used. "I move to postpone this motion until Ms. A arrives" or "I move to postpone this motion until 9pm."

[@jdshaw83]

But otherwise, great job!

[@joshmchristiansen7772]

The motion to Lay on the Table is not used to delay action on a motion for the purpose of gathering more information. It should only be used to set aside a motion for more urgent business. This is often confused and performed incorrectly. The way that the motion was set aside would have been more accurately accomplished by using the motion to Postpone Definitely.

[@seagoinya]

Excellent video! Very helpful makes the process seem less intimidating.

[@mabilis]

Postpone Definitely is the correct motion to use here, not Lay on the Table. Use Lay on the Table to set aside a motion if there is a more urgent matter that needs to be brought up.

[@bashpr0mpt719]

Protip; when speaking don't do what the president here does. Don't speak really fast and don't pause in unnatural points, otherwise it sounds like you're machine gunning random words then reloading the magazine of stupid before machine gunning more. Your speaking needs to be clear and concise, there is no rush, even when there is a rush it's better to take a second longer and get it right first time.

[@maxhess3151]

At 12:49 the assembly referred the motion to a committee consisting of all but one member. That does not seem fair.

[@uhcoogie5775]

I was wondering if the chair can assign the committee without input. I'm assuming that's within the chair's power?

[@midnightshadow1491]

In my experience, it's been the one who makes the motion (to refer the item of business to a committee) who recommends the members to serve on the committee. However, I believe this can be amended to add or subtract members. Organizations may have different bylaws though.

[@robertjarman3703]

If you are enforcing the rules of order this strictly this often with only six people, there is probably something seriously wrong, like the group who chose this group to be a committee or board really did poorly with finding people who must disagree with one another so often that they need to be strict. A committee for deliberating between many options should have as many people as you can reasonably put on the committee in order to get diversity of opinion, a committee of action to do things should have pretty similar opinions to one another and agree on the basic idea of doing what is desired by the majority of the group who appointed the committee and would be smaller. Plus, if you can at all avoid it, an even number on a deliberative body shouldn´t happen. A committee or board this size without any reason to be particularly divided on a matter normally proceeds by general/unanimous consent or by voice vote, and the chair does not enforce a time limit on debate given that there is only so much a person can say that is germane and likely to be seen as polite by the others, and pausing to interject into one another is likely to be tolerated unless it was made in a particularly rude manner. Standing to be heard is not necessary with a group this small. These rules are meant for when people disagree and to protect the rights of those not present at the meeting.

[@robertjarman3703]

Depends on the standing rules. If you do allow it, have someone else be the acting chair (designate someone to do so either in advance or at the time, whichever is more convenient) so as not to create a conflict of interest.

[@yourndeep]

Can the president vote?

[@ginaneff8849]

No

[@collingeyso4202]

yourndeep President only votes to break ties.

[@debbiedilks4277]

Actually according to Robert's rules, the chair can vote any time their vote could affect an outcome. The outcome being to break a tie or to create one to kill the motion.

[@chipspangler736]

In small boards (like the one in the video), the chair CAN vote if they choose to do so. In larger assemblies, the chair should not be voting unless a vote is by secret ballot OR they want to vote to change the result (break/create a tie or reach/prevent a 2/3 vote).

[@tortatorte7469]
