7 – You should never interrupt a meeting

You might think that a club meeting is as noisy as motorcycles on the roads. But in fact, there are very strict rules on how members should behave at the meetings. The organization follows Robert’s Rules of Order, originally written in 1876. The idea of these orders is to help businesses keep their meetings under control.

This order describes what a democratic gathering looks like. The group must adhere to a written agenda, and members are only allowed to speak if they really have to. All questions must be asked before the meeting. And apparently there is a $100 fine for breaking the rules.
