* A ruling of the determination of a quorum. A parenthetical note should show (# present or proxied; # required).
==Elections==
At the Annual Board Meeting, and some other meetings, this section is added. Contents might include:
Recognition of those [[Directors]] who have reached the end of their terms, perhaps excusing them with thanks. This should include Directors who have been reelected. All [[Elected Officers]]' terms expire at this point in the Annual Board Meeting.
When a long-serving and popular Officer or Director is deliberately retiring, it may be reasonable to adopt a Resolution of Thanks or Commendation.
Directors are normally elected by mail ballot, and the winners announced at the [[Annual Meeting]], which must precede the Annual Board Meeting (by definition). As they are elected by the Membership, no vote is needed.
Should the election have failed to elect enough Directors to fill all the vacancies, the Board may then elect additional Directors.
The new or re-elected Directors are then introduced and installed by the [[Chairman]].
A recess to caucus on the election of the five senior officers is then called. When these offices are obvious to all and uncontested, this may be skipped. The main point of the recess is to keep any discussion out of the Minutes, and allow for a clean slate.
The five Senior Officers are nominated and elected, normally en banc. Note that the office of [[Chairman]] does not have to be filled, and may be left vacant at the Board's discretion.
A Recess may then be called to caucus on the selection of Junior Officers.
A Motion or motions to elect the Junior Officers is then appropriate, with the [[Secretary]] listed as having nominated the [[Assistant Secretary]] and the [[Treasurer]] the [[Assistant Treasurer]] and [[Investment Manager]], if any.
If a mail ballot was used to select the ''[[Magister Rosae]]'', it is appropriate for the Board to determine if they will confirm his election or not.
If the [[Chief of the Order]] of the Augustan Eagle or ''Magister Rosae'' has officers ready to appoint, they may be confirmed on a single, separate vote. If any are objected to, the vote should be split to consider confirmation one at a time.
==Consent Calendar==
* 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.
