Responses from your Tickets Out from Session 3!
What are you curious about?
- How often some organizations move to limit debate
- Depends on the organization
- Why did this class start?
- You should ask Dr. Foster!
- Subsidiary motions and what they are all about
- They Assist, Postpone, Modify, and Dispose of the Main Motion
- RONR, p. 62-66

- We’ll learn that in session #12
- See RONR, p. 489-542 if you want information before then
- Best way to deal with people who don’t see the value of Parli Pro
- Talk to them and explain why it’s so useful! Anyone have any other ideas??
- Can you reconsider the motion to postpone indefinitely?
- An affirmative vote is reconsiderable RONR, p. 127, l. 17-20
- Still a bit confused about the difference between Lay on the Table and Postpone Definitely
- Lay on the Table is meant to put something aside for a short time because there is something more urgent that needs to happen right now. It doesn’t set a certain time to take the item up again (need to use Take from the Table). It is also not debatable or amendable. Postpone definitely just puts it off until a certain time (or another meeting). This may be because you need to hold off on making a decision or because it needs to be decided at a more convenient time. It is debatable and amendable. RONR, p. 209-218 and RONR, p. 179-191
- The order of precedence
- For what we have learned so far: Lay on the Table, Call the Previous Question, Limit or Extend Limits of Debate, Postpone Definitely, Refer/Commit, Amend, Postpone Indefinitely, Main Motion
- How difficult the Parli Pro exam is
- If you study and practice, you should be ok! Below is some basic information and example questions
- All AP tests will use the same references and will consist of two parts: PART I: Five (5) open book parliamentary procedure research questions using the 2011 edition of Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised (to be provided by the taker of the test).
- Example: List the page and beginning line number of the following statement: “Until the chair states the question, the maker has the right to modify his motion as he pleases or to withdraw it entirely.”
- Answer: Page 40 Beginning line number: 8
- PART II: Forty-five (45) multiple choice questions taken from Dunbar’s Manual of Parliamentary Test Questions and the current edition of Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised.
- Example: Which of the following motions can the Previous Question be applied to?
- A. Adjourn
- B. Limit or Extend Limits of Debate
- C. Raise a Question of Privilege
- D. Lay on the Table
- Answer: B
- SAEP-Accredited Parliamentarian Credential has more information about the accreditation exam if you’re interested.
- When incidental motions take priority over subsidiary motions
- Incidental motions rank higher when they are actually applicable to the motion that is pending and need to be taken care of immediately RONR, p. 72, l. 24-36

- Next Week!

What do you want to learn more about?
- Why would you use postpone indefinitely instead of just voting it down?
- Postpone indefinitely is used when you can’t adopt or reject the motion without undesirable consequences. It kills the motion without taking a direct vote on the motion. RONR, p. 126, l. 7-9
- Also for strategy purposes (the Parliamentarian’s Motion) RONR, p. 128, l. 17-33
- A way to speak properly during a meeting
- We’ll go over debate later on. But until then try RONR, p. 385-399
