Having a clause in your bylaws prescribing a generally acceptable manual of parliamentary law will provide you with suitable rules of order during your meetings. This rule book is known as the group’s designated parliamentary authority.
The parliamentary authority that we recommend is the current edition of Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised (RONR). The current edition is Robert’s Rules of OrderNewly Revised (12th edition).
