[edit] Where is it used?
The article mentions that Riddick's is derived from proceedures used in the US Senate, but does it have any "offical" standing there? Are there other notable locations which officially make use of the rules? -- 128.104.112.85 (talk) 14:21, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] No official standing with the Senate
Riddick's Rules is a book of common parliamentary usage for civic clubs and organizations. Riddick did write Riddick's Senate Procedure (contains contemporary precedents and practices of the US Senate) which is still being updated and used by the Senate. I know of no organization that has adopted Riddick's Rules of Procedure as their Parliamentary Authority (PA), although it contains about everything an organization might need. The bulk of it is written in glossary style so it comes off more as a reference book. Riddick was associated with the American Institute of Parliamentarians (AIP) where he founded an annual Practicum (to study parliamentary proceudre) that now bears his name. His book has been used by AIP in their teachings, workshops, and materials. Parlirules (talk) 15:29, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
