If you have a legitimate reason to disagree with a motion or procedure, you can follow these steps:
1. Raise a Point of Order: If you believe that the rules are not being followed correctly, you can raise a “Point of Order” to challenge the breach of procedure. State your concern clearly and concisely.
2. Request Clarification: If you don’t understand a motion or procedure, you can ask for clarification or explanation from the presiding officer or a parliamentarian. This isn’t a disagreement per se, but it can help you understand the rules better.
3. Propose an Amendment: If you disagree with a specific motion, you can propose an amendment to the motion. This allows you to modify the original motion to better suit your viewpoint.
4. Debate Your Position: When it’s your turn to speak on a motion, express your disagreement by presenting your arguments and reasoning. Be respectful and focus on the issue at hand.
5. Utilize Appeal: If you believe the presiding officer is making an incorrect ruling, you can “Appeal the Decision.” This puts the decision in the hands of the assembly to decide by a majority vote.
6. Vote Your Disagreement: If none of the above options resolve your disagreement, you can simply vote against the motion or proposal when it comes to a vote.
It’s essential to follow the rules and procedures in an orderly and respectful manner to ensure fairness and maintain decorum in any meeting or assembly that uses Robert’s Rules of Order.
