What are the normal grounds for a member to rise to a Point of Order?

A member rises to a Point of Order to address a violation of established procedures that govern the conduct of meetings. This procedure is an essential aspect of parliamentary procedure, allowing members to ensure that the organization follows its rules and bylaws during the meeting. When a member believes that the rules are not being adhered to—whether it's related to the manner a motion is being presented, how debate is being conducted, or any other procedural issue—they can raise a Point of Order to call attention to this violation. This action helps maintain order and fairness in the meeting, ensuring that all members have the opportunity to participate appropriately according to the rules.

In contrast, expressing disagreement with another member or a motion is part of healthy debate and does not constitute grounds for a Point of Order. Similarly, requesting more information on a motion is a standard part of deliberative discussion and is not a procedural violation. Lastly, a personal grievance with another member should be addressed outside of formal meeting procedures and typically does not fall under the guise of parliamentary rules, which focus on the conduct of the meeting itself rather than personal disputes.
