This policy requires the avoidance of any conduct that violates, or that might appear to violate, the antitrust laws. Among other things, the antitrust laws forbid any agreement between or among competitors regarding prices, availability of service, product design, and terms of sale, division of markets, allocation of customers or any other activity that unreasonably restrains competition. It is the responsibility of every NERC participant and employee who may in any way affect NERC’s compliance with the antitrust laws to carry out this commitment. Any NERC participant or employee who is uncertain about the legal ramifications of a particular course of conduct or who has doubts or concerns about whether NERC’s antitrust compliance policy1 is implicated in any situation should consult NERC’s General Counsel immediately. Participants are reminded that this meeting is public. Notice of the meeting was posted on the NERC website and widely distributed. The notice included the number for dial-in participation. Participants should keep in mind that the audience may include members of the press and representatives of various governmental authorities, in addition to the expected participation by industry stakeholders.

Parliamentary Procedures Based on Robert’s Rules of Order, Newly Revised, 1990 Edition

Motions Unless noted otherwise, all procedures require a “second” to enable discussion.

When you want to… Procedure Debatable Comments Raise an issue for discussion

Move Yes The main action that begins a debate.

Revise a Motion currently under discussion

Amend Yes Takes precedence over discussion of main motion. Motions to amend an amendment are allowed, but not any further. The amendment must be germane to the main motion, and cannot reverse the intent of the main motion.

Reconsider a Motion already approved

Reconsider Yes Allowed only by member who voted on the prevailing side of the original motion.

End debate Call for the Question or End Debate

No If the Chair senses that the committee is ready to vote, he may say “if there are no objections, we will now vote on the Motion.” Otherwise, this motion is debatable and subject to 2/3 majority approval.

Record each member’s vote on a Motion

Request a Roll Call Vote

No Takes precedence over main motion. No debaterequired, but the members must approve by 2/3 majority.

Postpone discussion until later in the meeting

Lay on the Table Yes Takes precedence over main motion. Used only topostpone discussion until later in the meeting.

Postpone discussion until a future date

Postpone until Yes Takes precedence over main motion. Debatable only regarding the date (and time) at which to bringthe Motion back for further discussion.

Remove the motion for any further consideration

Postpone indefinitely

Yes Takes precedence over main motion. Debate can extend to the discussion of the main motion. If approved, it effectively “kills” the motion. Useful for disposing of a badly chosen motion that cannot be adopted or rejected without undesirable consequences.

Request a review of procedure

Point of order No Second not required. The Chair or secretary shall review the parliamentary procedure used during the discussion of the Motion.

Notes on Motions Seconds. A Motion must have a second to ensure that at least two members wish to discuss the issue. The “seconder” is not recorded in the minutes. Neither are motions that do not receive a second. Announcement by the Chair. The Chair should announce the Motion before debate begins. This ensuresthat the wording is understood by the membership. Once the Motion is announced and seconded, the Committee “owns” the motion, and must deal with it according to parliamentary procedure.

Revisions. Technically, revisions to the main motion are accomplished by the Amend procedure. However, immediately after making the motion, and before it is announced by the Chair, another member may ask that the motion be revised. If the original “motion -maker” agrees to the revision, then the revised motion will be the one debated. The original “seconder” need not be consulted, because the original “motion-maker” plus the “reviser” constitute a motion and a second.

January 25-26, 2017

 

 

NERC Participant Conduct Policy General Consistent with its Rules of Procedure, Bylaws, and other governing documents, NERC regularly collaborates with  its members and other stakeholders to help further  its mission to assure the effective and efficient reduction of risks to the reliability and security of the grid. Many NERC members and other bulk power system  experts  provide  time  and  expertise  to NERC,  and  the  general  public,  by  participating  in NERC committees,  subcommittees,  task  forces, working  groups,  and  standard  drafting  teams,  among  other things. To ensure that NERC activities are conducted  in a responsible, timely, and efficient manner,  it  is essential to maintain a professional and constructive work environment for all participants, including NERC staff, members of NERC committees, subcommittees, task forces, working groups, and standard drafting teams, as well as any observers of these groups. To that end, NERC has adopted the following Participant Conduct Policy (this “Policy”) for all participants engaged in NERC activities. Nothing in this Policy is intended to  limit  the  powers  of  the  NERC  Board  of  Trustees  or  NERC  management  as  set  forth  in  NERC’s organizational documents, the NERC Rules of Procedure, or under applicable law. This Policy does not apply to the NERC Board of Trustees or the Member Representatives Committee.  

Participant Conduct Policy All participants in NERC activities must conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times. This Policy includes in‐person conduct and any communication, electronic or otherwise, made as a participant in NERC activities. Examples of unprofessional conduct  include, but are not  limited to, verbal altercations, use of abusive  language,  personal  attacks,  or  derogatory  statements  made  against  or  directed  at  another participant, and  frequent or patterned  interruptions  that disrupt  the efficient  conduct of a meeting or teleconference.   Additionally, participants shall not use NERC activities  for commercial purposes or  for their own private purposes,  including,  but  not  limited  to,  advertising  or  promoting  a  specific  product  or  service, announcements of a personal nature, sharing of files or attachments not directly relevant to the purpose of  the NERC activity, and communication of personal views or opinions, unless  those views are directly related to the purpose of the NERC activity. Unless authorized by an appropriate NERC officer, individuals participating  in NERC activities are not authorized to speak on behalf of NERC or to  indicate their views represent the views of NERC, and should provide such a disclaimer if identifying themselves as a participant in a NERC activity to the press, at speaking engagements, or through other public communications.    Finally, participants shall not distribute work product developed during the course of NERC activities if that work product  is deemed Confidential  Information consistent with  the NERC Rules of Procedure Section 1500. Participants also shall not distribute work product developed during the course of NERC activities if distribution  is not permitted by NERC or the relevant committee chair or vice chair (e.g., an embargoed report), provided that NERC, or the committee chair or vice chair in consultation with NERC staff, may grant in writing a  request by a participant  to allow  further distribution of  the work product  to one or more 

 

NERC Participant Conduct Policy  2 

specified entities within  its  industry sector  if deemed to be appropriate. Any participant that distributes work product  labeled “embargoed,” “do not release,” or “confidential”  (or other similar  labels) without written approval for such further distribution would be in violation of this Policy. Such participants would be  subject  to  restrictions on participation,  including permanent  removal  from participation on  a NERC committee or other NERC activity.  

Reasonable Restrictions on Participation If a participant does not comply with this Policy, certain reasonable restrictions on participation in NERC activities may be imposed, as described below.   If a NERC staff member, or committee chair or vice chair after consultation with NERC staff, determines, by his or her own observation or by complaint of another participant, that a participant’s behavior is disruptive to the orderly conduct of a meeting in progress or otherwise violates this Policy, the NERC staff member or committee chair or vice  chair may  remove  the participant  from a meeting. Removal by  the NERC  staff member or committee chair or vice chair is limited solely to the meeting in progress and does not extend to any future meeting. Before a participant may be asked to leave the meeting, the NERC staff member or committee chair or vice chair must  first  remind  the participant of  the obligation  to conduct himself or herself  in  accordance with  this  Policy  and  provide  an  opportunity  for  the  participant  to  comply.  If  a participant is requested to leave a meeting by a NERC staff member or committee chair or vice chair, the participant must cooperate fully with the request.   Similarly,  if a NERC  staff member, or  committee  chair or vice  chair after  consultation with NERC  staff, determines, by his or her own observation or by  complaint of another participant,  that a participant’s behavior  is disruptive  to  the orderly conduct of a  teleconference  in progress or otherwise violates  this Policy, the NERC staff member or committee chair or vice chair may request the participant to leave the teleconference. Removal by the NERC staff member or committee chair or vice chair is limited solely to the teleconference in progress and does not extend to any future teleconference. Before a participant may be asked  to  leave  the  teleconference,  the NERC  staff member or  committee  chair or vice  chair must  first remind the participant of the obligation to conduct himself or herself  in accordance with this Policy and provide an opportunity for the participant to comply. If a participant is requested to leave a teleconference by a NERC staff member or committee chair or vice chair, the participant must cooperate fully with the request. Alternatively, the NERC staff member or committee chair or vice chair may choose to terminate the teleconference.   At any time, a NERC officer, after consultation with NERC’s General Counsel, may impose a restriction on a participant from one or more future meetings or teleconferences, a restriction on the use of any NERC‐administered listserv or other communication list, or such other restriction as may be reasonably necessary to maintain the orderly conduct of NERC activities. Before approving any such restriction, the NERC General Counsel must provide notice to the affected participant and an opportunity to submit a written objection to the proposed restriction no fewer than seven days from the date on which notice is provided. If approved, the restriction is binding on the participant, and NERC will notify the organization employing or contracting with the restricted participant. A restricted participant may request removal of the restriction by submitting
