Bylaws

Bylaws should contain the rules of a society that relate mainly to itself, and define it as an organization and how it functions, rather than containing rules of parliamentary procedure. Except rules relating to business procedure, bylaws cannot be suspended, unless they expressly provide for their suspension. However, bylaws in the nature of rules of order may be suspended by a two-thirds vote. The bylaws should always provide for their amendment. 

For additional information, refer to RONR 10th ed. pp. 548-580.

"It is recommended that each officer of an organization obtain a copy of the 176 page Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised in Brief (RONRIB) to use as a meeting guide. Interested members who wish to participate fully in meetings will find it to be invaluable. This 'in brief' book is one of the best values around! For more in-depth information, you will also want a paperback copy of the 704 page Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised (RONR) to be used as a reference (when more information is needed), which the 'in brief' book cross references and refers to by page and line number. If you are serious about parliamentary procedure, buy the long-lasting hardcover edition of RONR as a reference book for your personal library. RONR is the book to use if Robert's Rules of Order is designated in your bylaws as your parliamentary authority."

-- Rod G Davidson, Professional Registered Parliamentarian

Finally! Published in 2004, this simple and concise, user-friendly guide covers the basics of conducting and participating in meetings of any size. Written by the same authorship team as Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised (RONR), this short easy-to-read guide covers the essentials on the rules most frequently used at meetings. At 176 pages, this handy pocket manual is roughly one-fourth the number of pages of RONR, yet this brief guide is entirely consistent with the larger 704 page RONR, something that cannot be said for other short books on parliamentary procedure.
