April 27 - "Misrepresentation"

After lunch on Friday, I checked the rules for General Conference and found the one on “misrepresentation” I had found in 2008 and sent the following brief note to my contacts, staff, friends, and board.

“Were you aware of Rule 8 (p. 75 of the handbook) which says,

‘No delegate who has the floor may be interrupted except for a point of order, a parliamentary inquiry, a point of information, TO CHALLENGE A MISREPRESENTATION (emphasis added), or to call attention that the time has arrived for an order of the day.’"

I didn’t know if that would make a difference. To my knowledge it was not used by anyone at Tampa throughout the two weeks. But who knew that it might not be used when I sent it that afternoon. Plenary sessions were on the horizon and someone might be glad to have Rule 8 pointed out.
