The agenda is a list of meeting events in the order in which they will be taken, starting with a call to order and ending with a delay. Usually includes one or more specific business items to follow up on. Probably, but not necessary, including a special time for one or more activities. The agenda can also be called a folder, schedule, or calendar. It can also contain a list of business orders .

Etymology

Agenda stands for sunt agenda or agendum est , a plural and singular gerundif form each of the latter Latin verbs , agere, egi, actum "to drive, move", for example cattle. It means "(things/things) that should be pushed forward". What is now known in English as agenda is a list of individual items that must be "acted upon" or processed, usually things that should be addressed at business meetings. Although the Latin word in plural form, as a loan word in English, the word is singular and has a plural "agenda".

Description

A to-do list of business items to be taken during a meeting or session. This can also be called a "calendar". The agenda of the meeting can be preceded by the date, time and location of the meeting, followed by a series of points that outline the order in which the business should be carried out. Steps on any agenda can include any type of schedule or order the group wants to follow. The agenda can take different forms depending on the group's specific goals and can include any number of items.

In a business meeting of a deliberate meeting, an item on the agenda is also known as the order of the day . Optimally, the agenda is shared with the meeting participants prior to the meeting, so they will be aware of the subject to be discussed, and can prepare for the appropriate meeting.

In a workshop, the order of the agenda item is important, as the next agenda step may depend on information derived from or completion of the previous steps on the agenda. Often in standard meetings, the agenda item may be "box time" or fixed so it does not exceed the amount of time specified. In the workshop, boxing time may be ineffective because completion of every step of the agenda may be important to start the next step.

In parliamentary procedures, the agenda does not bind an assembly unless its own rules make it so, or unless it has been adopted as the agenda for a meeting with a majority vote at the beginning of the meeting. Otherwise it's just for chair guidance.

If an agenda binds an assembly, and a certain time is imprinted on an item, it can not be picked up before that time, and must be taken when the time comes even if another business is waiting. If it is desired to do otherwise, rules may be suspended for that purpose.

Business order

In a parliamentary procedure, the business command, as the name implies, is the order of items to be retrieved during a meeting. This sequence may be a standard business order or the order listed on the agenda agreed by the meeting to be followed.

Standard Business Order

Robert Revision's New Order Rule (RONR) has the following business standard order:

1. Read and agree minutes
2. Reports from standing officers, boards and committees
3. Special committee report
4. Custom orders
5. Unfinished business and business orders
6. New business

The above standard business order has been found suitable for meetings in most organizations.

"Special orders" and "general orders" refer to business goods that usually come from previous meetings (the word "order" in these two cases does not refer to "order" but instead is more like "command" in the mean). Usually goods become special orders or public orders with the adoption of motion to delay. The difference between these orders is that, in general, special orders can interfere with other businesses when the time comes for consideration, while public orders wait until the pending business is handled. For example, say a movement is being considered and then postponed to the next meeting. This delayed movement becomes a common command for the next meeting. When the time for "general order" appears in the order of business, the delayed motion considerations continue.

"New business" is where most of the discussions and the decisions in meetings are usually held. If a group has not adopted a business agenda or order, all of its business will be considered "new business".

Optional header

Organizations can have the following optional headers in the order of their business:

• Opening ceremony - Items may include prayer, national anthem, loyalty pledge, organizational mission reading, official recognition etc.
• Play call (take attendance)
• Review and adopt the agenda
• Approval calendar - tool used by deliberative assemblies with heavy workloads to consider a large number of items with one vote
• Good from the order, General Good and Well, or Open Forum - for other issues to enable participants to pick up other points for discussion
• Announcements - may include review of key points, discussion of tasks, communication plans about what to tell others not in the meeting, and confirmation of subsequent meetings, if any
• Programs (such as chats, movies, or guest speakers)

The organizer can list all of the items above.

Call for today's order

The call for the day's order , in parliamentary procedure, is a motion to request the deliberative assembly to fit its agenda or business order.

In the Rules of the newly revised Rules Rules RONR (RONR), "calls" can be made by one member, and it does not take a second. The seat should then proceed to the scheduled business item, unless the board decides otherwise with a two-thirds vote.

The Parliamentary Code Standard Code does not have this movement and instead states that a member may request that the agency pick up a scheduled business item, or make a more formal point of order.
