American Institute of Parliamentarians Knihy

This completely revised and updated alternative to Robert's Rules is the most comprehensive, understandable, and logical guide to conducting smoothly functioning, formal, organizational meetings. Already accepted as the authority by thousands of succesful organizations, from local community groups to national societies like the American Medical Association, the Third Edition updates parliamentary procedure for contemporary practice, clarifies confusing laws, and eliminates obsolete, arcane motions while retaining all essential safeguards. Its clear, non-technical language makes it accessible to everyone. And its special section of answers to the most frequently asked questions is a plus for newcomers to parliamentary procedure.

On a popular TV game show, the game board provides the answer and the contestants have to come up with the question. While the answers in this book all fall into one category, "Parliamentary Law" or "RONR," and the book doesn't have an electronic "buzz in" system, you can now join in the fun and try their hand at finding the correct question to parliamentary answers. This book replaces those books and provides 2,000 plus answers (and questions) covering "Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised" (RONR) 11th Edition (2011). These answers (and questions) were prepared by the AIP Education Department. The answers and questions are grouped by the appropriate section in RONR. Each answer/question includes a reference to the page in RONR from which it was developed. Some are direct quotations, while others require applying the information from the referenced page.

This workbook is dedicated to learning the concepts and the rules in "American Institute of Parliamentarians Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure," commonly referred to as "AIPSC." To understand the concepts and rules in "AIPSC," questions are posed on various concepts and rules. This is done chapter by chapter, and will permit the student of "AIPSC" to readily progress through the book, to locate the key words in the question, to read the relevant paragraphs, to analyze and to understand each concept or rule. In some cases, if the answer to the question is not clear, it may become clearer as the student progresses through subsequent questions. References and answers are also provided at the end of the workbook, but students are urged to do their own research and analysis and to use the references and answers as a last resort.

"Comparisons" is designed to broaden readers' parliamentary knowledge and to challenge students in their use of parliamentary research. New sections on each specific class of motions, documents of authority, order of business, boards and committees, electronic meetings, methods of voting, including electronic voting, and disciplinary action were added to this second edition. The second edition has been updated with references to the 11th edition of "Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised (RONR)" and "American Institute of Parliamentarians Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure (AIPSC)," as well retaining references to "Demeter's Manual of Parliamentary Law and Practice" and "Riddick's Rules of Procedure."

On a popular TV game show, the game board provides the answer and the contestants have to come up with the question. The game board contains five questions in each of six categories; and the three contestants compete against each other to be the first to "buzz in" to provide the question. While the answers in this book all fall into one category, "American Institute of Parliamentarians Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure," and this list of answers and questions doesn't provide an electronic "buzz in" system, parliamentarians can now join in the fun and try their hand at finding the correct question to parliamentary answers. While this book can't provide you with buzzers and a big answer board, the book does contain lots of answers (along with the "correct" question). The answers and questions can be grouped for playing games like the television show. Another way to use the answers is to transfer them to cards, shuffle the cards, and ask the answers in whatever order they are drawn from the shuffled deck. Whatever way you choose, make it fun! So, contestants, hands on your buzzers and get ready for a fast and fun session of: Here is the Answer! What is the Question?
