FAQ

Making a meeting motion follows this 5-step process: Recognition. The first step is to be recognized. State the Motion. Once you have the floor, state your motion clearly and concisely. Second the Motion. Another attendee must second the motion before it can be discussed or voted on. Debate and Discuss. Vote.

To introduce a motion, say “I move that …” followed by a statement of the proposal. The motion is not discussed until it has been seconded by someone and stated in full by the chair. purpose of requiring a seconding of a motion is to confirm that more than one member of the assembly wishes to discuss it.

Robert's Rules of Order provides for four general types of motions: main motions, subsidiary motions, incidental motions, and renewal motions.

The meeting chair, sometimes known as a chairperson, is the elected officer of an organized body, such as a board or committee. During the meeting, it's the role of the chair to prepare the meeting agenda, begin the meeting, encourage discussion, and keep the discussion focused and balanced.

Substantive or main motions can be moved from the chair technically, but a wise chair will not – they will invite a members to move the motion. A chair may suggest that it would be appropriate for a particular motion (procedural or substantive) to be moved but encourage someone else to move it.

The Committee Chair may make motions, speak in informal debates, and vote on motions. Motions need not be seconded. Informal discussions of subjects are permitted with no motions pending. If a proposal is perfectly clear to the committee members, a vote can be taken without a formal motion.

The motion can be objected to and ruled out of order without debate. However, if the chair does not rule the motion out of order, a two-thirds vote of the group can block further consideration.

The Chair has the same right to make or second a motion or to debate as the other Board Members. The role of presiding officer need not be assigned to another Board Member while the Chair exercises these rights.

After being recognized by the president of the board, any member can introduce a motion when no other motion is on the table. A motion requires a second to be considered. If there is no second, the matter is not considered.
