The Question and Answer forum is place to ask specific questions, or suggest answers to questions posted by others, about particular points of parliamentary procedure. If you have a question, first check out Frequently Asked Questions — you may get a quick, accurate answer. You may also find definitive answers to selected questions in Official Interpretations by the authors of Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised.

A few notes

Neither the Robert’s Rules Association nor the authorship team assumes responsibility for answers that may be posted on the Questions and Answer Forum, and there is no guarantee that these answers are correct as a matter of parliamentary law.
