Any Other Business

Natality, Promising and the Standing Order in a Residents' Association's Minutes, 2013–2024

A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities reads twelve years of a suburban residents' association's minutes through Hannah Arendt's account of action. It argues that a 2019 standing order requiring all business to be notified in advance worked as a promise the committee made to itself, that business from the floor then reappeared in a paragraph the secretary headed "Noted after close", which it reads as a small institution of forgiving, and that a 2022 allowance of ten minutes for business from the floor settled the two.
