To be clear for the OP though, parliamentary procedure =/=
Robert's Rules. Although
Robert's is by far the most familiar guide, there are other guides to parliamentary procedure, and many organizations adapt the rules to the own preferences.
That said, parliamentary procedure is certainly the way to go. It may seem formal, but it works, it protects the rights of everyone and it prepares members for participation in many other organizations where a knowledge of parliamentary procedure comes in very handy.
