BILERAK:
Tri-annual meetings |
Each member organization
of NABO selects its own two voting delegates to
represent them at NABO meetings. Meeting dates and location vary,
but generally meetings are in the Fall, Winter then the Summer
Convention meeting. Dates and location are determined by the
club/organization that volunteers to host the meeting. Visitors are welcome to attend the NABO meeting as
observers if space allows, but please obtain confirmation by
contacting Valerie Arrechea at

NABO Meeting
Procedures: Timely, fair & orderly |
These are based on Robert's
Rules of Order, but ultimately we as a group decide what
works best for us.
The aim
is to find a viable formula to make our meetings timely, fair
and orderly.
General five minute
report rule.* Each person speaking on a point on the
agenda will be given an uninterrupted (no questions until
finished) five minutes to briefly state (because delegates can
later refer to specifics provided them in written form or
online) the following points:
> What was
done/not done since the last meeting
> What is the primary aim(s) to accomplish by the next meeting
> What (if any) motions need to be raised and voted upon by the
delegate. A motion is first made, then it must be seconded
to open a discussion.
*Some reports are exempt from this five minute cap, including
the Treasurer's & Facilitator reports,
and periodically a Basque Government report.
Questions & discussion. Following each specific
presentation (that is not interrupted by questions) up to a ten
minute period of discussion begins on this agenda point (which
allows for questioning, input, motions from the floor, etc.).
Note that all members wishing to speak about the motion
receive the opportunity to speak before any one member speaks
for a second time.
If discussion/questions ends before the ten minute period, then
we move to the next agenda item. If after ten minutes
discussion continues, an automatic return to Robert's Rules of
Order (specifically "Motion to Limit or Extend debate") will
occur. At this point all delegates vote whether to continue the
discussion.
If the majority votes YES, the discussion continues for up to
five minutes (when again the automatic vote is triggered)
If a majority votes NO, there are now several options:
1) "Call to Question:" to form or restate a motion to bring the
matter to a vote or
2) "Refer to Committee:" the matter is now referred to a
specific committee that is formed or an existing focus
(advisory) group.
2) "Lay on the Table:" General discussion of the item
is tabled. Those still interested in the matter can follow up
and it's possible to "take from the table" and reopen the matter
at a latter time.
