This mod is for delegates to
consult when they are preparing for a "bad chair". This can also be
used by chairs who want to avoid being remembered as a bad chair. This
list was first developed by M. Barnes on 3/18/2015.
1. Do not negatively visibly react to the
manner of a delegate speaking. Even though a chair may think someone is
speaking weirdly, stupidly or in an incoherent manner, the chair should
not laugh, smirk, or make a comment about the delegate. In some
cases the delegate may be doing it on purpose, this should be noted by
the chair.
2. The chair should maintain
parliamentary procedure. This requires effort.
3. The chair must maintain an
authoratative manner while remaining kind and understanding.
4. The chair should be kind and
understanding, and open to suggestions.
5. The chair should not be submissive
to delegates.
6. The chair should make every effort
to call on all delegates and should keep a list and call on delegates
who have not spoken.
7. The chair should not accept a large
number of resolutions.
8. The chair should maintain a
professional attitude.
9. The chair should monitor
unmoderated caucuses.
10. The chair should address the
issues sent to them on notes.
11. The chair should maintain
appropriate authority.
12. The chair should not regularly
suspend rules.
