It appears an agenda was not lodged to either the Secretariat or Staff.  If there is one and I missed it, might it be circulated before the call?

We had a discussion last week that would have closed the matter. That this continues raises a number of issues, among them the basic understanding of the RoP. Members should consult Robert's Rules of Order for an understanding of how the procedures work.

Looking at the thread, I am presuming that a member has invoked Title VII Section 24 of the RoP.  That is, an official challenge to one or other member regarding "an emerging conflict of interest" (CoI). But absent an official notice lodged with the Secretariat and/or staff and presented to the entire membership via the Discussion List,  one cannot be certain.  This must be stated unequivocally. 

A notice invoking Title VII Section 24 is only properly brought when the member alleging a CoI self identifies and publicly states the basis of the "emerging conflict of interest" sensed by that member on the general Discussion List. 

Let us be clear, this cannot be a gripe of an unfounded concern on a frolic fueled by malice or ignorance. Bringing a personal gripe to the membership opens that member to a charge of placing this body in disrepute, malice aforethought and behaviour injurious to the comity of this community.  

Plus it is a distraction and a waste of valuable volunteer time for which, at minimum, exposes the member to a motion of censure at the next meeting of the community.

We must and shall follow the rules.
