Robert’s Rules of Order, Diagrammed

In the distant past, I was a certified parliamentarian. On occasion, I still do chair meetings, or all called upon to provide some training on parliamentary procedure. Most recently, last weekend I was asked to prepare some training notes for a group of folks, so I started refreshing myself on Robert’s Rules of Order. That led me to thinking, “how can I visualize all these rules, in a simple flow?” The result is this diagram, below the fold.
