 According to
Robert’s Rules of Order, parliamentary
procedure is based on the consideration of the rights: of the majority, of the minority (especially a large minority greater
than one-third), of individual members, of absentee members, of all of these groups taken together.
"The application of parliamentary law is the best
method yet devised to enable assemblies of any size, with due regard
for every member’s opinion, to arrive at the general will on the
maximum number of questions of varying complexity in a minimum
amount of time and under all kinds of internal climate ranging from
total harmony to hardened or impassioned division of opinion."

each officer of an organization
obtain a copy of the 208 page

Brief (RONRIB) to use as a meeting guide. Interested members who wish to
participate fully in meetings will find it to be invaluable. This
'in brief' book is one of the best values around! For more in-depth
information, you will also want a paperback copy of the 816 page

of Order Newly Revised (RONR) to be used as a reference (when more
information is needed), which the 'in brief' book cross references and refers to
by page and line number. If you are serious about parliamentary procedure, buy
the long-lasting hardcover edition

RONR is the book to use
if Robert's Rules of Order is designated in your bylaws as your parliamentary
authority."
