![]() At first I thought you were referring to Reading and Approval of Minutes, but you say the minutes have been approved already. There is no category of Old Business in RONR. I have asked that Old Business not be read out with extra discussions (yes, some items should fall under Unfinished Business but try to tell the President and Secretary that goes on deaf ears) if Approved by members so we can get going on the New Business and get out at a decent time. Very unorganized and we don't get an agenda, everything is all in one. Is it mandatory for the Old Business be read out loud by the President when everyone has read the minutes and Approved them as "read"? At our meetings it ends up being another half hour of discussion on the Old Business again with intermixing of New Business before we even get to new business. The minutes should be a record of "what was done at the meeting", not what was said.Įdited to add: BTW, you've gotten pretty good at "telling em that" yourself. Both books also explain what does and does not belong in the minutes. ![]() Guest Lizette, I strongly suggest you get a copy of RONR or RONR in Brief to learn the difference between "old business" which RONR does not even recognize and "unfinished business". ![]() □Īnd Richard Brown was in the process of doing just that when you made your comment!! But it was getting too lengthy as I was trying to explain to Guest Lizette that her organization apparently does not understand the difference between "unfinished business" and "old business" and that her membership should not be sitting around discussing "old business" and cluttering up the minutes with the minutiae of said discussions. Normally Brown would be the one to tell you that. Guest Lizette, this forum (other than this particular thread) prefers that you ask a new question by creating a new post, rather than piggybacking on an old post.
