  • 20060508 San Antonio WGM: New item. Update DMP to reflect the following: The chair can set the discussion mode: 1) formal Robert’s Rules; 2) suspend Robert’s Rules for designated period of time for free form discussion leading up to a motion; 3) suspend Robert’s Rules for designate period of time for free form discussion of a controversial topic which might or might not lead to a motion.
  • 200605020 Suggested wording reads: "In the event that the committee wishes to hold a free form discussion on a (controversial) topic, one that may, or may not, result in a motion, the INM TC shall use the following procedure: The presiding co-chair of the committee will announce a designated period of time which can be used for free form discussion of a (controversial) topic. Given the nature of free-form discussions the order of those speaking as part of the discussion won’t be enforced by the presiding co-chair. Roberts Rules will apply in all other matters of process. Motions may be made by discussion participants during or after the free form discussion."
