Résumé :

Notes and Comments on Robert's Rules, Fifth Edition is an authoritative companion to Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised for organizations that rely on parliamentary procedure and need clear, defensible answers when procedural questions arise during meetings.

Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised is the parliamentary authority for countless nonprofit associations, unions, homeowner and condominium associations, houses of worship, and governmental bodies. At more than 700 pages, however, it can be difficult to navigate and apply in the middle of real meetings. This book is designed to sit alongside Robert's Rules, explaining the provisions most commonly misunderstood, misapplied, or disputed.

Written in a practical question-and-answer format, Notes and Comments explains not only what Robert's Rules requires, but why the rules exist and how they are intended to function in practice. The commentary is drawn from decades of professional experience advising boards, associations, unions, and conventions ranging from small assemblies to meetings with thousands of delegates.

Updated to reflect the Twelfth Edition of Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised, the Fifth Edition includes current page and paragraph references, expanded discussion of electronic, virtual, and hybrid meetings, explanations of why specific provisions are included in Robert's Rules, comparisons with other parliamentary manuals, and simplified charts of parliamentary motions for quick reference.
