	L.L. Bernard: An Introduction to Social Psychology: Chapter 27: Direct Contact Groups —Rational Types (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Where the deliberative assembly is local and the members of a group participate directly rather than through their representatives, there is still room for difference of opinion and conflict in the discussion, but such conflict is usually not so pronounced because of the greater homogeneity of the participating members and their interests.
		Where the deliberative assembly is made up of members with like interests, whether they be a board of directors of an industrial corporation, or direct participators, as in the case of a district school meeting or of the stockholders of a local coöperative society, there is also likely to be a considerable uniformity of response.
		The deliberative assembly may embrace a large number of interests which are common to the members, almost as many as are involved in life itself; or it may involve only one, as in financial bodies, or only a few.

	Robert's Rules of Order Revised - IX
		It is usual in deliberative assemblies, to have all preliminary work in the preparation of matter for their action done by means of committees.
		However, unless the assembly is accustomed to having its chairman put the proper questions on the report without any formal motion, it is better for the reporting member to move the "adoption" of the resolutions or recommendations, as that is generally understood.
		In large assemblies the secretary vacates his chair, which is occupied by the chairman of the committee, and the assistant secretary acts as secretary of the committee.

	Parliament and Public Deliberation: Evaluating the Performance of Parliament - [2001] UNSWLJ 57
		Deliberative structures are not ‘givens’ – they are shaped by parliamentary decisions on the franchise, on eligibility for representation, on parliamentary resources, on who sets the timing and content of the parliamentary agenda, on who participates in parliamentary inquiries and debates, even on who determines when decisions are final.
		This deliberative domain slowly emerges in the wake of the Senate reforms of the 1940s, reinforced by the later emergence of the sustained presence of minor parties in the Senate.
		To identify Parliament as the primary deliberative institution is not to deny that important responsibilities of public deliberation were expected to be conducted by the political executive within the closed walls of Cabinet and by the judiciary in the proposed High Court.

	Deliberative Democracy in America by Ethan J. Leib
		The central principle of deliberative democracy can be summarized as follows: “At the heart of the deliberative conception of democracy is the view that collective decision-making is to proceed deliberatively—by citizens advancing proposals and defending them with considerations that others, who are themselves free and equal, can acknowledge as reasons” (Cohen and Sabel 1997, 327).
		Deliberative assemblies cannot do everything, but they also cannot merely be in civil society without having a binding effect on the state: they need to be institutionalized as mechanisms of the state and be able to issue binding statements of popular will.
		By arguing that the failure to institutionalize deliberative assemblies was sure to lead to their irrelevance, I lay the groundwork for Chapter 4.

	Sample Chapter for Gutmann, A. and Thompson, D.: Why Deliberative Democracy?
		Deliberative democracy makes room for many other forms of decision-making (including bargaining among groups, and secret operations ordered by executives), as long as the use of these forms themselves is justified at some point in a deliberative process.
		In this respect deliberative democracy stands in contrast to Rousseau's conception of democracy, in which individuals reflect on their own on what is right for the society as a whole, and then come to the assembly and vote in accordance with the general will.
		What makes deliberative democracy democratic is an expansive definition of who is included in the process of deliberation--an inclusive answer to the questions of who has the right (and effective opportunity) to deliberate or choose the deliberators, and to whom do the deliberators owe their justifications.

	Deliberative Assemblies- I
		An assembly having been organized as described in 69, 70, 71, business is brought before it either by the motion of a member, or by the presentation of a communication to the assembly.
		If the assembly is small and the members are known to each other, it is not necessary for the member to give his name after addressing the chair, as the presiding officer is termed, nor is it necessary for the chair to do more than bow in recognition of his having the floor.
		All resolutions, reports of committees, communications to the assembly, and all amendments proposed to them, and all other motions except the Undebatable Motions mentioned in 45, may be debated before final action is taken on them, unless by a two-thirds vote the assembly decides to dispose of them without debate.

	Robert's Rules of Order Revised - Introduction
		In ordinary deliberative assemblies the right to debate questions before taking final action upon them should never be suppressed by less than a two-thirds vote, and the motion to lay on the table should be used only for its legitimate parliamentary purpose of laying aside a question temporarily.
		The same vote should be required (two-thirds vote) to stop debate and bring the assembly to a vote on the final disposition of the question, whether the intention is to adopt or to reject the proposition.
		In an ordinary assembly, with sessions not exceeding two or three hours, it should, and it does, have the power by a two-thirds vote to close debate instantly, just as by the same vote it may suspend the rules.

		Many of our deliberative assemblies are ecclesiastical bodies, and it is important to know how much respect will be paid to their decisions by the civil courts.
		Every deliberative assembly, having the right to purify its own body, must therefore have the right to investigate the character of its members.
		After charges are preferred against a member, and the assembly has ordered that he be cited to appear for trial, he is theoretically under arrest, and is deprived of all the rights of membership until his case is disposed of.

	Full text of ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER REVISED, by General Henry M. Robert (1915 edition)
		If made in an assembly that already has provided for another meeting on the same or the next day, or if made in an assembly when no question is pending, this is a main motion and may be debated and amended and have applied to it the other subsidiary motions, like other main motions.
		In an assembly, as a convention, which meets regularly only once during its life, but whose by-laws provide for calling special meetings, an adjournment sine die means only the ending of the regular session of the convention, which, however, may be reconvened as provided in the by-laws.
		When the motion to adjourn is qualified in any way, or when its effect is to dissolve the assembly without any provision being made for holding another meeting of the assembly, it loses its privilege and is a main motion, debatable and amendable and subject to having applied to it any of the subsidiary motions.

		It’s clear from their discussions that the Assembly members are thinking about what the presenters have said — they keep bringing up examples from the presentations in discussion — but my sense is that few Assembly members have taken on the experts’ preferences for their own.

	Statehouse 2000 Teachers Guide RULES OF ORDER FOR THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS
		Fundamentally, under the rules of parliamentary law, a deliberative body is a free agent-free to do what it wants to do with the greatest measure of protection to itself and of consideration for the rights of its members.
		A deliberative assembly--the kind of gathering to which parliamentary law is generally understood to apply--has the following distinguishing characteristics: It is an independent or autonomous group of people meeting to determine, in full and free discussion, courses of action to be taken in the name of the entire group.
		If there are absentee members-as there usually are in any formally organized assembly such as a legislative body or the assembly of an ordinary society-the members present at a regular or properly called meeting act for the entire membership, subject only to such limitations as may be established by the body's governing rules.

		Many deliberative assemblies observe what is called the "good of the order." This is a time, generally at the end of official business, in which members can make comments, offer commendations, or just "clear the air" in an "off the record" manner.

		When expelled, if the assembly is a permanent society, it has the right, for its own protection, to give public notice that the person has ceased to be a member of that society.

		When corrections to the minutes are made by the assembly, the corrections are made in the written text of the minutes being approved, and the minutes of the meeting where they are corrected merely state that the minutes were approved “as corrected”, without actually stating the details of those corrections.

		Such assumptions should be clear cut usages and not overly commonplace unless the rules of the assembly so reflect is appropriate.
		Bear in mind anything that can be "moved" can also be objected to and when unsure any member may reserve the right to object, or reserve the right to withdraw a motion if they are the maker of the motion.
		There is a general exception to this fact, as well, which is the understanding and application of the assembly's (board in this case) bylaws and corporate charter.
