What is the recommended duration for holding standing rules in effect?

Standing rules are procedural guidelines that govern the activities and behavior of a meeting or organization. The recommended duration for holding standing rules in effect is typically for the duration of the session. This means that they are in place to manage the affairs of the current meeting but are not intended to last beyond it unless re-adopted in subsequent sessions.

When rules are established for a session, they provide a clear framework for how the meeting should operate, addressing specific needs and situations that arise during that single meeting. Once the meeting concludes, those rules are considered to no longer be applicable unless they are re-established for future meetings. This approach helps ensure that each meeting can be tailored and adjusted according to the current context and needs of the participants, rather than being tied to rules that may become outdated or irrelevant over time.
