Tasks

Clarify the distinction between RONR and other Robert's Rules of Order versions (active current dispute on the Robert's Rules talk page) Sakuranohi (talk) 03:44, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
May 2018 was almost six years ago now. How might we find a way to politely show more information closer to the Time it's publicized, or published online.? 2600:100F:B1BD:F062:0:18:84FE:A101 (talk) 19:46, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Add more non-RONR material to pages that are primarily RONR
Expand articles on motions:
- cite other PA beside RONR
- legislative procedure
- meeting procedures in other countries (or rename Articles to US parliamentary procedure because 90% of what this project writes is country-specific with no explicit mention of that fact)
Create and expand articles on parliamentary terms and concepts
Expand stub pages to start page assessment
Ensure that every article is cited; no article should be without at least one reference
Develop editing guidelines for Parliamentary Procedure articles (add to this project page)
Add book citations to Bibliography of Parliamentary Procedure

Pages needing attention

Majority, absolute majority, and simple majority - should we merge these to more clearly compare and contrast the related concepts on one page?
