“Reach Out and get ready…”  This  summer has  been  exceptional  for newbie  FSAP members  reaching out  to become NAP members.   As  I welcomed  them,  they  replied with where they are going with parliamentary procedure. 

 Members  Gustave  Diaz  and  Daniel  Barga  are  incarcerated  in  northern Florida  and  started  a  Toastmasters  group  on  “campus.”      Studying together,  they  passed  the  NAP  test  and  now  use  their  knowledge  to improve their meetings and educate other members.   Mr. Diaz hopes to use  his  radio‐television,  computer  systems,  Toastmasters  and  NAP knowledge  in  some  sort  of  consulting  business,  perhaps  in  Florida  or Puerto Rico.   Mr. Barga will  continue helping his  fellow members  have better meetings and mentor those who wish to become NAP members. 

 Attorney Holly E. Van Horsten in Miami became an NAP and RP member all in the same week and will use her expertise to serve her clients.  She will be the exception to the  rule “we aren’t attorneys.”

Ann Guiberson, who shared with me, and I’ll share with you at the fall Henry M. Robert Day meeting in Ft. Lauderdale. 

 Doctor Leonardy wrote that they visited Italy, Greece, India and Japan in 1959 and wrote about a Japanese translation of “Parliamentary Usage” that was popular with the Japanese women. 

 I almost went to Japan last week, and seeking places to visit, I contacted the three NAP members there. I may now have a Japanese NAP member rooming with me at the NTC. 

 Whack‐a‐Motion education, per Doctor Robert B. Blair’s idea presented at the combined FSAP/District 3 workshop last year, was given to my Ohio unit.  Not everyone was able to participate by standing, and a different format for those disabilities will be used in future presentations. We need to be aware of our audience (hearing, eye sight, mobility) and tailor our education to those needs. 

 Many of us are attending the Leadership and Training Conferences in Oklahoma City.  Stay tuned for reports and updates on technology being used by NAP and how you can use and benefit. Maybe you are the expert that can lead us in a workshop to learn how to use our fingers and these 21st century devices. 

 This is the official call to meeting in Fort Lauderdale, October 17 – 19, where there will  be amendments to the  bylaws to consider.  See you there.

CAMP Fort Lauderdale Trade Show By Barbara Proctor

 MEETING DISASTER PREPAREDNESS

 On  Saturday,  May  31,  2014,  on  last minute’s notice Patricia McDougle and Barbara Proctor    represented FSAP at the  CAMP  (Community  Association Management      Professionals)      2014 Annual Trade Show  in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.     Thanks to the quick response and  extra‐ordinary  efforts  by  Shirley Brodbeck and Betti Cogswell, we were able  to  use  our  FSAP  banner  and  had adequate  hand‐out  material  to encourage    interest    in   FSAP,    in   NAP, and  in the benefits of using parliamen‐ tary    procedure    based  on    Robert’s Rules of Order.    Every 30 minutes we raffled  an  “In  Brief”       accumulating 

more than 50 contacts.  Now comes the difficult part, the follow‐up, reaching out and establishing a relationship with these  individuals who are  interested  in  learning more about becoming an NAP member and how to use parliamentary procedure to benefit their customers and their careers. 

 CAMP  is  a  professional  organization  that  brings  together management  professionals  and  expert service providers to educate and connect their members in ways that will benefit property owners, and boards.  We appreciate  their Board of Director’s  invitation by giving FSAP an opportunity  to have a booth at  this event at no cost, and assisting us  in setting up our  table.   Perhaps someday FSAP can return the favor.   This is the beginning of a great partnership!

FLORIDA PARLIAMENTARIAN QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FOR THIRD QUARTER 2014 

 Question 11. Why is the second to a motion so important? 

 Answer 11. In the strictest sense, the role of a second is to guide the chair on whether to proceed with a motion just made. That  can be vital  in avoiding  the waste of  time with a motion which only one person considers significant or relevant. “A second merely  implies that the seconder agrees that the motion should come before the meeting and not that he necessarily favors the motion.” (p. 36, ll. 9‐11). 

 Contrary  to  that  rule  from  Robert,  it  seems  that  every member  of  every  organization  knows  that  a motion must be seconded at all costs.   It  is so  important that the meeting screeches to a halt while the secretary tries to figure out who seconded the motion so that the correct person can be given the credit in  the meeting minutes. And  controversy about  the  legitimacy of a motion  that got adopted without a second has been known to take up valuable meeting time. 

 Here’s what Robert has to say on these subjects:  If the chair continues with the motion without a second and debate begins or a vote  is  taken, “the  lack of a  second has become  immaterial”  (p. 37,  ll. 10‐11). Further, “the absence of a second does not affect the validity of” (p. 37, l. 15) a motion which is adopted without having been seconded. 

 And for the multiple masses who insist on putting the name of the seconder in the minutes:  “The name of the maker of a main motion should be entered  in the minutes, but the name of the seconder should not be entered unless ordered by the assembly.” (p. 470, ll. 26‐28) 

 In summary, the second is not as important as some would make it out to be.  However, it is important as a guide for the chair in putting motions on the floor for consideration. 

 [Note:    The  Merriam‐Webster  online  dictionary  gives  this  definition  of  a  second:  “b:     to  endorse (a motion or a nomination)  so  that debate or voting may begin.” A question  for you: Should Merriam‐ Webster be contacted about correcting the cited definition?]

Question 12. At  the  first meeting—following  recent  elections—of  our  five‐member  board  of  education,  two members were returning and three were sworn in as new members.  A big to‐do erupted when it came time to approve the minutes of the last meeting of the board – the issue being whether the new members  could  vote on  approving  the minutes  if  they were not present and  further not a member of  the board at  the  time of  the meeting. Several avenues were attempted but  the  final disposition was a motion  to approve  the minutes  in “form” only but  there was not a second and the matter was tabled until the next meeting. What was the correct way to handle this situation? 

 Answer 12. Laser  focusing  only  on  your  question  and  not  on  other  parliamentary  issues  raised  in  your question  .  .  . and without  taking  into account  that your  state may  require  that all members of a public  body  must  vote  unless  a  conflict  of  interest  exists  .  .  .  the  minutes  could  have  been approved either by a motion or by unanimous consent.  It would have been  in order  for  the new members to vote since:   “It should be noted that a member’s absence from the meeting for which minutes are being approved does not prevent the member from participating in their correction or approval.” (p. 355, ll. 8‐11)

Proposed Amendmen t to the FSAP Bylaws Current wording To be amended by I f adopted, wo u ld read A rticle ill, Section 1A.  Primary 1. a primary member is an NAP member and an FSAP unit member who is counted in FSAP as ofMarch 1 ofthe convention year for determining the number of delega tes to which FSAP is entitled at NAP convent ion.

 

  Striking "unit" and inserting "(unit members and members -at-large)" between "member" and "who."

AP member and an FSAP member (unit members and members-at-large) who is counted in FSAP as of March 1 ofthe convention year for determining the number of delegates to which FSAP is entitled at NAP convention.

Proposed by: FSAP Bylaws Committee  

Rational e: The amendment brings th e FSAP bylaws into compliance with the NAP bylaws, whose definition of primary members implicitly includes both uni t members and members-at-large.

2. a provisional member may vote on unit matters only and, except for president and vice-president, may hold office as provided in a unit's bylaws. They shall not be counted in determining representation to meetings of NAP.

 

  

3. a provisional member attending FSAP meetings may be permitted the privilege of the floor.

 

  Striking, after "a provisional member," "may vote on unit matters only and, except for president and vice-president, may hold office as provided in a unit's bylaws. They."  Striking "privilege" and insert "privileges."

Article Ill, Section l.D.2  2. a provisional member shall not be counted in determining representation to meetings ofNAP.

 

  

3 a provisional member attending FSAP meetings may be permitted the privileges of the floor.

Proposed by: FSAP Bylaws Committee  

Rational e: The amendments bring the FSAP bylaws into compliance with the NAP bylaws. Th e NA P bylaws specify the rights and restrictions governing units; thus, FSAP is not authorized to specify criteria for electing unit officers. However, FSAP may restrict the rights of provisional members to vote on FSAP matters.

Re-Print of 2011 Article by Mary Giddens Charlotte County Parliamentary Unit

 

So who is Robert and why should we follow his rules anyway?  

Why Parliamentary Procedure? In short, because it provides guidelines for working together productively and respectfully. In 1863, Henry Robert was asked to do what many of us have been asked to in BPW, i.e., preside over a meeting. Robert, an Army engineering officer, knew many things, but how to preside over a meeting was not one of them. In his words “My embarrassment was supreme. I plunged in, trusting to Providence that the assembly would behave itself. But with the plunge went the determination that I would never attend another meeting until I knew something of …. parliamentary law.” And that was the beginning of Robert’s study of parliamentary procedure. He found several books and manuals, but none were consistent in their rules. It seemed that societies each had their own systems of parliamentary law. Over the years, Robert became convinced of the need for a standard parliamentary procedure to enable civic-minded people to belong to several organizations or to move from one locale to another without constantly encountering different parliamentary rules. Roberts Rules of Order, born from “my most embarrassing moment,” was first published in 1874. We all know it’s easy to take rules for granted until someone starts abusing them. At the same time, parliamentary procedure is easy to learn because it is essentially fairness and common sense. It gives confidence and power to those who master it, and it enables members and organizations to present, consider, and carry out their ideas with efficiency and harmony.

 This is the first of a series of articles in The Florida Business Woman to pique your interest and incite your questions on parliamentary procedure. Let us hear from you.

1. Under what circumstances should a member raise a Point of Order? It is the right of every member who notices a breach of the rules to insist on their enforce- ment. If the chair notices a breach, she corrects the matter immediately; if she fails to do so - - through oversight or otherwise - - any member can call attention to the violation by rising to a Point of Order. Rising to a point of order is a request that the presiding officer give a ruling or decision on the point raised by the member.

2. Why do motions require a Second? In order to justify the consideration of a proposal, the proposal should have the support of at least two members - - one who makes the motion and another, the seconder, who wants the proposal considered by the members. As a general rule, motions made in meetings of com- mittees and boards do not require seconds. There are a few motions that do not require sec- onds because they are actually requests or demands that the presiding officer must consider. These are: point of order, parliamentary inquiry, withdraw a motion, division of a question, division of the assembly, and question of privilege.

    

GREAT NEWS ! Eugene (Gene) K. Coy, PRP is home and doing well. He is walking a mile + daily. Please send him a note, email or call (not after 7 pm) . I am sure he would love to hear from his fellow parliamentarians.
