It's insane. But I'm "happy" #Fanone got up in his face. The truth and honest emotions being "managed" by robertsrules... Yes, thought I heard, Why do you have to swear... Tourettes... Maybe #Jan6PTSD, #Jan6DenierDickhead !?!

#Croudsource #RobertsRules Question: how has parliamentary procedure been used to shut down efforts at equality and justice in meetings you’ve attended?

Scots: the nation so fractious they had to write down rules about how to talk to each other and make decisions.

It's September, and time to return to writing my monthly blog posts on parliamentary procedure. Here is this month's contribution: if you want to challenge the results of a vote on a motion, you have to act quickly! #parliamentaryprocedure #robertsrules

What are folks' opinions on Robert's Rules of Order these days? It is so prevalent in the US. Love it? Hate it? Is it equitable? Is it abused? Are they accessible? Ableist? Thoughts?

(Cat tax for the inquiry.)

Caucuses are coming up, most I have been to use some variation of Robert's Rules of Order. Next Tue it's gonna be hard to not do "point of personal privilege, wtf!".

3/ ... can be tracked down, arrested, and forcibly returned - IF they are within the legislative body's jurisdiction. If they are physically outside the state, as in Texas, not much can be done to compel their return. #RobertsRules #ParliamentaryProcedure #Governance #Texas

Got what appeared to be a very irregular notice of a meeting governed by #RobertsRules at 3:30 pm EDT yesterday. Wrote lengthy email screed/complaint, citing section and item — but then figured, “wait until Themis’ Days begin in just an hour, for best impact.”

Yes, hostile amendments are allowed, just like hostile debate! A companion piece to last year's post on friendly amendments. Taking a break for Summer; back in September. My website, however, is on duty 24/7 - check it out. #robertsrules #parliamentaryprocedure

How to handle information reports, as distinct from reports with recommendations. Are they open to questions only, debate, motions? #RobertsRules #ParliamentaryProcedure

Conversation may be preferable but it just isn’t possible when the parties are far apart on the issues & emotionally charged. In that situation, a structured #RobertsRules style debate is a viable means to explore different sides of an issue & possibly settle a dispute without dueling.

April's blog explains how to make decisions by unanimous consent - without a vote or even a motion. What does the chair say in doing it? Is it as 'official'? How is it recorded in the minutes? What about pushback from members? #robertsrules #parliamentaryprocedure

Some secretaries of organizations take offence when members propose corrections to the minutes. Get over it - the minutes of a meeting belong to the members, not the secretary. My October blog post. #robertsrules #parliamentaryprocedure #governance

Ruminating on how much opportunity cost there is in the time I spend allowing my impostor syndrome to rear it’s ugly head.

Thanks @courtghoward for the nudge/high five.

Lets get’er done.

Who Invited Robert?
Robert’s Rules of Order were designed to make large organizations of members with disparate interests and customs functional. No surprise that they have been rejected by many left groups since the 196...

But avoiding scrutiny is not how academic leadership works.

Accountability matters.
Due process is not optional.
