ACTION BY THE FIAV BOARD
The Board has taken the following action:
! Pursuant to the definition of vexillology in FIAV Constitution article 2, the Board, absent extraordinarycircumstances, will not recommend the admission of a new Member if the primary purpose of theapplicant is the patriotic promotion of one or more flags.
STATUS OF THE FLAG RESEARCH CENTER
The following letter concerning The Flag Research Center was read October 4, 2014 at NAVA 48 in New Orleans:
Dear friends and colleagues,
With The Flag Research Center Collection's move to the Briscoe Center at The University of Texas, mywork as a consultant and as editor of The Flag Bulletin has given way to completing personal flag projects,some long neglected because of the time needed to run the business of The Flag Research Center. But thework of vexillology must continue.
While my Collection is no longer at 3 Edgehill Road, The Flag Research Center itself has not disappeared asan institution. I am pleased to announce that the FRC is now a part of The Trust for Vexillology, a nonprofitcorporation that financially supports the Collection. I have known the Trust's directors—Scot Guenter, HughBrady, and Charles Spain—for many, many years, and they helped me place the Collection at the BriscoeCenter. I have every confidence that they will carry on the work that I began in 1962.
As the Nederlandse Vereniging voor Vlaggenkunde, Société Suisse de Vexillologie, North AmericanVexillological Association, and Fédération internationale des associations vexillologiques rapidly approachtheir fiftieth anniversaries, I commend the hard work by so many over the decades. Their names are toonumerous to list, as are the vexillological associations and institutions they have established. But although Ican no longer join you in person, I have fond memories of colleagues and friends, absent and present, whomake our common undertaking a joy.
We know that men and women are led by flags. I am proud to see that the work of organized, seriousvexillology has taken hold, and you are helping to explain the human condition through the study of thesebits of cloth.
Keep working!
Sincerely,
Whitney Smith, PhD

RULES OF ORDER FOR THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Originally published in Info-FIAV number 15, at pages 9–11 (November 2000):
REPORT OF THE 1997-1999 FIAV STANDING ORDERS COMMISSION
The standing orders commission was reestablished at ICV 17 (1997) in Cape Town with amembership consisting of Don Healy (continuing), Roman Klimeš, and Ralph Kelly. The commissionwas charged with the task of reviewing Bourinot’s Rules of Order (ISSN 0-7710-8336-X), to establishits suitability as a set of rules of order to govern the conduct of FIAV General Assembly sessions. Adecision was made in Cape Town to use these Canadian rules on a trial basis during the GeneralAssembly session in Victoria.
The standing orders commission did not have an opportunity to meet prior to this session ofthe General Assembly due to the unexpected nonattendance of two of its members and, as a statementof fact, the commission members did not undertake correspondence that established a uniform viewon these matters. My report, therefore, is, of necessity, an interim one.
Many of the matters contained in Bourinot’s Rules of Order are addressed in the FIAVConstitution or relate to parliamentary procedures beyond the scope of the needs of the GeneralAssembly. Specifically, the procedures for notices of meetings, attendance quorums, voting majorities,and election of Officers are dealt with adequately in the FIAV Constitution. The order of business is alsoadequately covered by existing procedures of the FIAV Board.
The areas of useful guidance for the chair of the General Assembly (the FIAV President oranother person acting as the President’s substitute, with the consent of the General Assembly) relateto the rules concerning debate, motions, amendments, points of order, and questions (Bourinot’s Rulesof Order articles 30 to 50 on pages 42 to 63). These rules appear to conform substantially to thepractices that have evolved for conducting General Assembly sessions
The relevant rules, as properly applied to FIAV, can be summarized as follows:
1. A motion must be proposed and seconded at the General Assembly session before it isdebated. [Note: The General Assembly should consider dropping the requirement that a motion whichhas been timely submitted and published in the agenda must still be proposed and seconded at theGeneral Assembly session. Motions already published in the agenda could be considered to have beenseconded by a member of the Board.] A motion that is not seconded may not be considered. Once themotion is seconded, the President puts the question of the motion to the General Assembly for debate.If necessary, the President may restate the motion in a formal or more precise style of language. Afterthe President puts the question on the motion for debate, the motion belongs to the General Assemblyand may be withdrawn only by the consent of the General Assembly.
Info-FIAV No. 39 6 July 2015
2. The delegates of FIAV Members have a right to speak about the motion during debate onthe question; however, in order to manage time, the President may limit the number of times eachdelegate may speak and the length of speeches, as long as any such limitations are uniform.Notwithstanding any such limitations, a delegate may always make a substantive correction of fact orremedy a misquote.
3. A motion to amend a motion currently under consideration (the “main motion”) may beproposed and seconded, and the motion to amend is debatable and must be voted on before thedelegates vote on the question of the main motion. More than one motion to amend can be proposed,including a motion to amend the motion to amend. Each motion to amend should be voted on in theorder in which it was proposed, except for a motion to amend a motion to amend, which should bevoted on immediately before the motion to amend to which it relates.
4. An amendment may alter the intent or effect of the main motion, but the President shouldreject a motion to amend that would nullify the main motion or a motion to amend that is not relevantto the main motion.
5. Once the question on a main motion has been debated and a vote is conducted, thatdecision (including any amendments to it) becomes the decision of the General Assembly. Furthermotions on the same subject matter at the same session of the General Assembly are not in order,unless they were timely submitted and published in the agenda. However, a delegate may make amotion to reconsider (if the original motion failed) or rescind (if the original motion passed).
6. In debates, the President selects from those delegates who indicate a wish to speak andnormally there is no mandatory sequence of speakers for or against the motion. Speakers shouldaddress the President in making their remarks, even if the speaker wishes to ask a question of anotherdelegate. A speaker has the right to be heard without interruption so long as the speaker’s remarks arerelevant to the question under debate and the remarks do not offend propriety. The President canoverrule remarks or questions that are not relevant or that offend propriety.
7. If a delegate believes a breach of the rules of order has occurred, the delegate can interruptdebate on the question of a motion by raising a question of privilege. The President must immediatelyrule on the question of privilege before allowing further debate.
8. The following procedural motions can be made during the debate of the question of a mainmotion:
(a) Motion to put the question to a vote—must be seconded and is debatable; thismotion is used to end debate on the pending motion (which could be a motion to amend the motion)and force a direct vote on the pending motion. If the motion to put the question carries, then thepending motion must be voted on without any further debate or amendment.
(b) Motion to proceed to the next item of business—must be seconded and is notdebatable; this motion is used to set aside the question being considered and proceed to the next itemon the agenda. Although, the main motion, including, any motions to amend the main motion, isdeemed to have failed, further motions on the same subject as the main motion are permissiblebecause there was no vote on the main motion.
(c) Motion to defer the question—must be seconded and is debatable; this motionpostpones consideration on the question of the motion (including any motions to amend the motion)to either a specified time (so more urgent business may be conducted) or indefinitely (thus, “killing” themotion). If a motion is deferred indefinitely, then a motion to reconsider the motion to defer must made,seconded, debated, and carried before the question is reconsidered.
(d) Motion to refer the question to committee (commission)—must be seconded andis debatable; this motion is used when the subject of the motion requires further consideration than canbe given at the current General Assembly session.
(e) Motion to adjourn the meeting—must be seconded and is not debatable; ifcarried, this motion sets aside the question being considered, and when the General Assemblyreconvenes, it proceeds to the next item on the agenda. A motion to resume debate on the previous
Info-FIAV No. 39 7 July 2015
question may be made when the General Assembly reconvenes, and if the motion is secondedand—after debate—is carried, then the General Assembly returns to consider the previous question.
9. The President is responsible for maintaining order during the General Assembly session,both as to proper procedure and decorum. If the President believes that a speaker is out of order, thePresident should call the speaker to order by simply saying, “Order, please.” The speaker must stopwhile the President explains the point of order. The President’s ruling on a point of order is notdebatable, but may be challenged by a motion to dissent to the ruling of the chair. Such a motion mustbe seconded, is not debatable, and must be put to a vote immediately. If the motion to dissent to theruling of the chair passes, the President’s ruling is overturned. If the President is unable to establishorder, the President may adjourn the session to a later time or day. The President does not have theauthority to discipline or penalize delegates; this may only be done by the General Assembly by amotion, which must be seconded and which is debatable.
10. When all the business of the session has been accomplished and the President is satisfiedthere is no other business that should be addressed, the President may, on his own authority andwithout a motion, finally adjourn the session without fixing a time and day for another meeting. If all thebusiness has not been accomplished, the President may suggest that the session be adjourned to alater time or day, but an appropriate motion must be made, seconded, and passed. The Presidentshould adjourn the session without a motion if, at the relevant time, a quorum is not present at thesession’s outset or the quorum is subsequently lost.
11. The minutes should accurately record the actions taken and decisions made at thesession. The minutes should not attempt to be a verbatim account of the session, but can includereference to the major issues discussed during debate. The minutes should be complete, clear, andsuccinct. The minutes should be affirmed at the next session or approved as corrected by anappropriate motion that has been seconded. There should be no debate on the policy or merits of aquestion dealt with in the minutes, and remarks on the minutes should strictly relate to the alleged error.
On behalf of the commission, I recommend that the General Assembly authorize the standingorders commission to assess whether the use of Bourinot’s Rules of Order at this General Assemblysession was effective in facilitating the efficient, orderly, and fair conduct of the session. If thecommission is so continued, it could present an expanded report at the next session on the use ofBourinot’s and possibly draft a stand-alone set of FIAV rules of order (including, for convenience,relevant provisions of the FIAV Constitution).
Ralph D. KellyJuly 29, 1999
At the Seventeenth Session of the General Assembly (July 23, 2001, York), the General Assembly adopted the followingmotion, “That Bourinot’s Rules of Order (ISBN 0-7710-8336-X) be adopted for use on a permanent basis.” Published inInfo-FIAV number 19, at page 12 (August 2001).

(b) to standardize knowledge of flags in order to facilitate comparative studies of flagcharacteristics;
(c) to provide a convenient system for researchers, publishers, and others to record, exchange,and publish information; and
(d) to eliminate, insofar as possible, the confusion that exists in the terminology employed bygovernments and others to describe national flags and their use.

Dear NAVA friends, I send you all my greetings at the occasion of your 47th convention, and I wish you a great success.
I ask my dear friend Charles Spain to address to you some words in the name of the FIAV Board on theoccasion of your first annual Whitney Smith Dinner.
This dinner will celebrate our friend Whitney, our father in vexillology. Founder of that science, he has put allhis energy into it, founding NAVA and co-founding FIAV. He has brought into contact so many peoplethroughout the world. Thanks to him, vexillology has grown so much that it continues to cover the wholeworld, most recently Thailand!
His dream to gather, through meetings, so many vexillologists has become reality. Through this dinner, whichbears his name, you will celebrate not only a great man but also the achievement of his personaldream-placing the Flag Research Center Collection at a major academic library. His life work is safe at TheUniversity of Texas, for all to use.
Naming the dinner for Whitney honors NAVA and its members. My fellow Board members Charles Spain andGraham Bartram, along with the vexillological associations and institutions listed below, join me with greatpleasure to celebrate Whitney Smith and his work. Kind regards,
Michel R. Lupant
