[Lnc-business] Requests for agenda items

[Alicia Mattson]

I have two agenda item requests:

1)  Make Conventions Special Events - At the March meeting the COC
introduced a motion on this subject, and the motion was postponed to the
budget meeting.  It didn't click with me that the budget meeting was two
meetings ahead, not the next meeting.  Daniel Hayes was trying to point out
to me that it's out of order to postpone something beyond the next regular
meeting, but I didn't catch on.  When this was noted after the postponement
had been adopted, the chair indicated that we could take it up at the July
meeting by use of a motion to rescind the postponement.  I have noticed
that RONR says rescind can only be applied to main motions, and the
postponement is not a main motion.  I think the means for us to revisit the
subject is to raise a point of order based on the fact that RONR doesn't
allow postponement beyond the next quarterly regular meeting because it
deprives the assembly of the basic right to take up an item of business at
a regular meeting in the meantime.  Therefore, I believe it is out of order
in such a way that it is not too late to raise a point of order about it.
So to keep options open in the event that the chair rules differently, I'm
giving notice for two options:

a) raise a point of order about the improper postponement with the goal of
taking the postponed motion back up at this meeting, and
b) rescind the postponement and take the item up again at this meeting

2)  Amend Reserve Definition - Attached is a PDF containing a motion to
amend the definition of the reserve.  I'll comment more extensively on this
before the meeting.
