* A call to order, showing who took the chair and the time the meeting began.
* Confirmation of Due Notice, usually stated as "given by Consulsthe [[Assistant Secretary]]".
* Roll Call, which will list all members of the Board in order of [[Warrant of Precedence|Precedence]], with the indication if they are present, absent, or have given their proxy to another member of the Board. If absent but excused, the general category of excuse is listed in parentheses, those being health, travel, military, and communications.
* A list of others present.
* If uninvited non-members are present, a Motion to waive [[Standing Rules|Standing RuleV]] V should be adopted or the persons excused.
* A ruling of the determination of a quorum. A parenthetical note should show (00 present or proxied; 00 required).
* A Motion to adopt the Consent Calendar. The Consent Calendar is a tool to expedite the meeting by passing all non-controversial items in a single vote. Any member of the Board (and this courtesy may be extended to others present at the chair's discretion) may ask that any item be removed for discussion, and those items are then moved to the end of "New Business". No vote on such removal may be taken.
* The Consent Calendar is normally presented in tabular form with three columns: Item number, Description, and Recommended Action. Typical actions might be Approved, Registered, Accepted, Recognized, Confirmed, Noted, Delisted, or "Withdrawn for Discussion" as above, but this is not an exclusive list.
