How to be recognized by the chair

1. Rotate small wheel to indicate why you wish to be recognized. Microphone signs are arranged so the Chair sees the same sign on the large top of the microphone stanchion that the delegate standing at the microphone sees on the small platform at eye level. 2. To be recognized, activate the light in the numbered cube at the top of the stanchion by holding down the button on the small plat- form. Release button when recognized by the Chair. 3. The Chair will recognize “Privilege” before “Information,” and “Information” before “For” or “Against.” 4. The Chair will alternate between “For” and “Against” signs. 5. The “precedence” of motions will be in accordance with Robert’s Rules of Order. ONCE YOU HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED BY THE CHAIR, IDENTIFY YOURSELF AND YOUR BRANCH NUMBER AND CITY BEFORE BEGINNING TO SPEAK.
