RE: Roberts rules of order?????
Robert's rules of Order are WAY more in depth and explain and spell out what can and cannot be done in parliamentary procedure. For example if they are in place, the chairman has the right not to call upon someone to speak. A person cannot speak unless recoginized by the chair.
for example, if John was inmy club and wanted to speak he couldn't unless he was recognized. The only case where John could then speak is either "a point of order". The structure is GREAT and way out weighs what little is in the AMA PDF. Without Robert's rules youi have ambiguity and arguments withit you have peace and quiet and a black and white reference as to how,why and when things can be done.
