Greetings,

I am an active member of the American Institute of Parliamentarians
(AIP). Most people join groups and organizations because they share
a common interest in a subject or topic. However, when differing
opinions start flying across the airways or room, people will start
chiming in and taking sides.

What percentage of the time is wasted on arguing about the most
appropriate or expedient process, that should be followed? In most
cases, isn't the process already spelled out?

Has anyone researched the many reason's why people who join groups and
organizations, choose to disregard their bylaws and rules of order?

Isn't this obvious norm, the catalyst behind continual disregard for
the rights supposedly enjoyed by the majority, and the inequity
experienced by the minority, in these groups and organizations?

How many members of this yahoo group, support the use of parliamentary
law practices in your deliberative research and analysis studies?
