EXERCISE 3
- TEAM EXERCISE You are one of three members of the administrative council of your college’s student association. Recently, the three of you have concluded that your weekly meetings, which are open to all students, have become chaotic. There are two main reasons for this: you do not use parliamentary procedure (rules for conducting meetings so that they are efficient and fair), and controversial issues have arisen that have attracted an increasing number of students. You have decided that it is time to consider adopting parliamentary procedures. Look on the web for models of parliamentary procedure. Is there one that you can adopt? Could you combine elements of several models to create an effective process? Find or write a brief set of procedures, being sure to cite your sources. In a memo to your instructor, discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the model you propose, and submit it along with the procedures.
