I think most parliamentary authorities would probably say the same thing.

Most of the major parliamentary authorites agree on the basics (common parliamentary law), but different on some of the details. Suspention of bylaws would be something basic and fundamental.

A mistake many people make is thinking the different PA are very different (comparing 'apples to oranges' if you will), when they are fairly similiar (more like comparing different types of apples).

(course, don't have my copies of them right here at hand to quote you).

Also, about 90% of orgs use RONR. Second most popular is The Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure (TSC).
