[Lnc-business] A point of protocol

[Geoffrey Neale]

Motions that are placed on the agenda do not require a second, since they
are agenda items, not actual motions.  The motions themselves will be made
at the appropriate time at the LNC meeting.  A second and subsequent debate
and amendments to the motions would be in order at that time.

 

It is not necessary for procedural purposes to second at this time, and the
seconds are not in order (as opposed to out of order), because we're not in
session, and there is no motion currently on the floor, because we're not in
session.  These items will be on the agenda because they meet the
requirements to be so placed within our Policy Manual, which requires that
the entire LNC be informed of the motion to be placed on the floor in order
to be included in the agenda.

 

I do appreciate the feedback, and welcome discussion, but the discussion
should be distributed on the LNC Discuss list, since discussion related to
these items is not business, and the motions and subsequent discussions will
be in open session, recorded, and decided at the next LNC meeting.
