FAQ
In terms of Robert's Rules, the minimum is to use motions for adoption and voting. The motion must clearly state what is being voted on. Other motions can be used during deliberations to help the group or body, as Robert's Rules calls it, make a decision.
A meeting motion is a proposal extended in a company meeting, typically to bring attention to an aspect of business matters. It is presented as a formal suggestion to the meeting members with another member seconding the motion before a discussion on the subject and vote on whether to accept or reject the proposal.
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.
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.
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.
To make a motion, you must first be recognized and given the floor by the meeting chairperson or presiding officer. Once you have the floor, state the motion as “I move (state your motion here).”
The chair can start the process by asking – can I have a motion to adjourn the meeting? A member of the board needs to table the motion. The chair typically then asks for a show of hands to show either who's in favour, or against. Then once consensus is reached states: “I declare the meeting adjourned.”
Robert's Rules of Order provides for four general types of motions: main motions, subsidiary motions, incidental motions, and renewal motions. The most important are main motions, which bring before the organization, for its action, any particular subject.
A motion is the topic under discussion (e.g., “I move that we add a coffee break to this meeting”). 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.
To make a motion, you must first be recognized and given the floor by the meeting chairperson or presiding officer. Once you have the floor, state the motion as “I move (state your motion here).”
