Rules of Order
Read through the Rules of Order posted below and available on the website. To brush-up on parliamentary procedure, consult this chart: Robert's Rules Chart of Motions.

Get familiar with the 'Raise Hand' function in Zoom. If you would like to speak from the "floor" during the meeting, please click on the 'Raise Hand' icon in Zoom. Then wait to be recognized and permitted to speak by our Chair, Bishop Brown. (This is the reason you should make sure your Zoom screen name includes your name and congregation! It will not be necessary to include Areas on convention day.) 'Chat' for this purpose is out of order. The use of 'Chat' is limited to technology questions or to second a motion or make a point of order. Unofficial debate is not permitted.

For a review of these rules with Chancellor Gordon Gayer and Canon Barbara Martin, attend Town Hall on Tuesday, October 11 at 7pm.
