A Regular Session of the ASR Round Table shall be convened when the Secretary so informs all those eligible to participate. The Secretary is required, no later than two weeks before the first day of any session, to Call the Roll, that is, to inform all eligible members that they are requested to take part, and to receive their affirmations of intent or inability to participate in the upcoming session. So long as at least one half, plus one, of the eligible members reply, affirming their intention to participate, a quorum is reached, and the session is held. If no quorum is reached, the session is cancelled.

Proposals are items on the Agenda that have been submitted to the Secretary for consideration as business of the Round Table. They are presented to the Round Table by the Secretary in the order they were received, and treated as Old or New Business, as appropriate.
Proposals are items on the Agenda that have been submitted to the Secretary for consideration as business of the Round Table. They are presented to the Round Table by the Secretary in the order they were received, and treated as Old or New Business, as appropriate.
A proposal is numbered in the format PYY.SS.NNV. The elements of this number scheme are defined as: P stands for proposal, YY is the last two digits of the year in which the RT occurs, SS is the session number in sequential order for the RT sessions that year beginning with 01, NN is the proposal number (01, 02, etc.), and V,  as applicable, is a letter beginning at A for an amended version of a proposal. There is no version letter on a first draft of a proposal.
So, the third procedure considered at the first RT of 2005 would be numbered P05.01.03. Were this procedure to be amended during the RT, the first amendment to the procedure would be P05.01.03A.
