Chairman and Clerk

FRCA
ARTICLE 34 – Chairman and clerk
In all assemblies there shall be a chairman and a clerk. The chairman’s task is to present and
explain clearly the matters to be dealt with and ensure that every one observes due order in
speaking; he shall deny the floor to those who argue about minor things or who let themselves
be carried away and cannot control their emotions, and discipline those who refuse to listen. His
task shall cease when the assembly ends. The clerk shall keep an accurate record of all things
worthy of being recorded.

CANRC
ARTICLE 35 – President
In all assemblies there shall be a president whose task it is to present and explain clearly the matters to be dealt with, to ensure that every one observe due order in speaking, to deny the floor to those who argue about minor things or who let themselves be carried away and cannot control their strong emotions, and to discipline those who refuse to listen.
In major assemblies the office of the president shall cease when the assembly has ended.

ARTICLE 36 – Clerk
A clerk shall be appointed whose task it shall be to keep an accurate record of all things worthy to be recorded.

Artikel 34
In allen t’samen-comsten sal by den Praeses een Scriba ghevoeght werden / om neerstelick op te schrijven ’tghene waerdigh is opgeteeckent te zijn.

Artikel 35
Het Ampt vanden Praeses is / voor te stellen ende te verclaren ’tgene te handelen is / toe te sien dat een yeghelijck zijn ordre houde in’t spreken : Den knibbelachtighen ende die te heftigh zijn int spreecken / te bevelen datse swijghen. Ende over de selve geen gehoor ghevende / de behoorlijcke Censure te laten gaen. Voort sal zijn Ampt uytgaen / wanneer die t’samen-comste scheydet.
