RRO is used for the US Congress. That may be why it was developed.

The US House of Representatives uses a set of rules based on Jefferson's Manual. Bill flow is a bit different than Roberts Rules of Order, but the concepts are very similar.

Thanks. I stand corrected. I just assumed (ASS out of U and ME), because I see them use the same language. I think there’s something in the intro to RRO about it, as well.

Been awhile since I read it. It’s not light reading.

Also, most folks use modern versions (copyrighted, so not open-sourced) of RRO.
