"Robert''s Rules of Order" is "the" book on parliamentary
procedure for parliamentarians and anyone involved in an
organization, association, club, or group and the authoritative
guide to smooth, orderly, and fairly conducted meetings and
assemblies. This newly revised edition is the only book on
parliamentary procedure to have been updated since 1876 under the
continuing program of review established by General Henry M. Robert
himself, in cooperation with the official publisher of "Robert''s
Rules." The eleventh edition has been thoroughly revised to address
common inquiries and incorporate new rules, interpretations, and
procedures made necessary by the evolution of parliamentary
procedure, including new material relating to electronic
communication and "electronic meetings."
