7.0 ADOPTION OF PROGRAM: ORDERS OF THE DAY
_______
     7.1  A program or agenda is adopted by a majority vote and is always subject to change. However, after having been adopted, a two-thirds vote is required for change.
     7.2  An order of the day is a particular subject, question, or item of business that is set in advance to be taken up at a given session, day, or meeting, or at a given hour provided that no business having precedence over it interferes.
     7.3  Orders of the day are divided into two classes: general orders and special orders. When an hour is assigned to a particular subject on the program, that subject is thereby made a special order. Subjects for which no hour is specified are general orders.
     7.4  An order of the day that has been set for a particular hour cannot be considered before that hour unless the rules are suspended by a two-thirds vote.
     7.5  A general order cannot be considered if other business is pending or if a prior general order has not been considered. A special order interrupts all business except certain privileged questions (See Robert's Rules of Order).

a. 

Reading and Approval of Minutes (session only)

b. 

Reading and Referring (or acting upon) Communications Addressed to the Judicatory

c.

d.
