Parliamentary Procedure

Basic Principles

  1. Balance between desire for input, fairness and order
  2. Look for Parliamentary Authority - for Muna it is set out as Robert's Rules of Order except as modified by orders - James Retson has an outdated copy of orders - See abstract of rules below
  3. Motion must be Moved, Seconded before debated
  4. You must be on speakers list to debate resolution, Some are placed there before Assembly begins, others are requested if they want to be added
