On September 26, 2013, the Board of Directors adopted the following two standing rules:
1. Recording of meeting proceedings. Recording or broadcast of any audio or video by any mechanical or electronic device during any meeting of the association or its Board of Directors is prohibited, unless a resolution permitting a specified instance of such activity shall have been duly adopted in advance. Persons observed recording and/or broadcasting in violation of this rule shall be ordered to cease and desist by the chair. Persons who fail to cease and/or desist may be ruled out of order by the chair and, after final warning from the chair, be escorted from the meeting by a designee or designees of the chair. Failure to cooperate in being escorted from the meeting shall be considered trespassing, disorderly conduct, a breach of peace or other complaint and may be reported to the appropriate law enforcement agency.
2. Participation by non-member attendees. Except in service on behalf of a member or rightsholder as a language interpreter or physical aide, participation by any non-member attendee at any meeting of the association or its Board of Directors shall be limited to that of a non-speaking observer, unless such attendee has been recognized to speak by the chair, in which case the speaker shall suspend speaking upon the direction of the chair. Persons failing to observe this rule may be ruled out of order by the chair and, after final warning from the chair, be escorted from the meeting by a designee or designees of the chair. Failure to cooperate in being escorted from the meeting shall be considered trespassing, disorderly conduct, a breach of peace or other complaint and may be reported to the appropriate law enforcement agency.
