Fully agree with you, most of the meetings I've attended I felt like I should have had my copy of Roberts Rules and my gavel. You approve the minutes of the previous meeting, you transact old business, you open for new business, you address the chair when you want to speak (and stand so everyone knows who has the floor), you have a time limit for speaking (for contentious issues), and then you vote. Anything that is unclear gets tabled until next meeting when someone proposes something thats actually thought out enough to have someone to 2nd it.
