A Short, Easy Guide to Parliamentary Procedure and Robert's Rules of Order
The text of this easy-to-read Nook edition, which describes and explains parliamentary procedure (rules for conducting meetings) and which is equivalent in length to a physical book of approximately 16 pages, first appeared in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s handbook “Rules of Order: A Simplified Parliamentary Procedure,” a highly condensed version of the 300-plus-page 1876 publication “Robert’s Rules of Order.”
Sample passage:
The member desiring to make a motion gets the chairman’s attention by raising his hand or standing up or calling: “Mr. Chairman.” When given the floor, he begins: “I move that…” and states his proposal as simply and clearly as possible. If the motion is in order, the chairman asks: “Will anyone second this motion?” and gives the floor to the first member indicating a wish to do so. This member says simply: “I second the motion.” If no one is willing to second the motion, the chairman declares that “the motion is dropped for want of a second” and proceeds with the next order of business. If the motion is seconded, it enters the discussion stage.
