I’ve published a new article on my website called Finding the correct parliamentary authority. This article answers the important question of how to determine the correct parliamentary book to buy and follow for the meetings of any particular organization. The answer is not always as simple as it seems, because most associations do a poor job of specifying this information in their by-laws; interpretation is frequently necessary.

This article will be of interest to anyone who is a member or officer of an association that holds meetings using parliamentary procedure, and who is not 100% certain that the parliamentary book he or she is using is the correct one—and few should be so sure.
