If no formal rules have been adopted, what normally follows new business?

In the context of a formal meeting or parliamentary procedure, when no formal rules have been adopted, the typical process following the introduction of new business usually involves a phase where the members discuss the new ideas, proposals, or issues that have been brought up for consideration. This phase is essential for gathering input, allowing members to express their thoughts and opinions, and ensuring that everyone is informed before moving on to any decisions.

Adjournment is a formal term that means to close or end the meeting, which would not logically come immediately after introducing new business. Typically, members would want to engage in discussion or debate about the new issues at hand before deciding to adjourn. This allows for thorough examination and understanding of the matters being raised, fostering meaningful participation and consideration within the group. Thus, while adjournment is an important part of meeting procedures, it does not directly follow new business if there hasn't been an opportunity for discussion or deliberation.
