These are rules adopted for a single meeting or series of meetings and may include parliamentary rules. What are they called?

• A. Convention standing rules
• B. Standing rules
• C. Bylaws
• D. Regulations

Answer: (A)

In parliamentary practice, when a group or assembly adopts rules specifically to govern a particular meeting or series of meetings, those rules are set as convention standing rules. They define how the convention will run, including procedural details and any parliamentary procedures it chooses to follow, making them distinct from the organization’s permanent bylaws or external regulations. The term convention standing rules captures the idea of a defined, temporary procedural framework created for a specific convention, which is why it fits best here.
