Point Of Order

Any member who believes that a speaker is out of order or that discussion is proceeding improperly may at any time rise to a Point of Order. He must distinctly state his question or objection, which the Moderator will decide.

Privileges

Questions relating to the rights and privileges of members are of primary importance and, until disposed of, take precedence of all other business and supersedes all other motions except that of adjournment.

Rule Suspended

A rule of order may be suspended by a vote of the body to allow the transaction of business necessary but which could not otherwise be done without a violation of such rule.

Adjournment

1.     A simple motion to adjourn is always in order except while a member is speaking or when taking a vote. It takes precedence of all other motions and is not debatable.

2.     The body may adjourn to a specific time but, if no time is mentioned, the fixed or usual time of meeting is understood.
