The book on Robert Rules of Order provides a reference and additional knowledge of how to present information in a control setting that requires a vote by members of your party. I experience this monthly in my fraternity meeting and I carry it with me everywhere.

The ultimate guide to bureaucracy

I move that we review the literature at hand. Second? Aye. The motion passes. This is a manifesto for those who believe meetings should be as thrilling as a tax seminar and twice as bureaucratic. This masterpiece of mind-numbing procedural jargon has the unique ability to turn a lively debate into a contest of who can quote obscure subsections faster. It reads like a survival guide to navigating through a quagmire of parliamentary procedure. It's perfect for those who fantasize about wielding the gavel with the precision of a medieval executioner, ensuring every voice is heard but only after waiting through nine rounds of motions, amendments, and points of order. Its dense pages are sure to lull you into a trance-like state where dreams of adjournment and motions to reconsider dance through your head. For those who find joy in parsing phrases like "quorum call" and "previous question," this is your ticket to enlightenment.

Clear and concise guidance on holding meetings with procedural rules. When a situation is not covered by Bylaws or other organizational rules, RRO can provide a means to resolve conflicts.
