However, the above does not address amendments, substitutions, etc. Therefore, someone could make a motion to “Rename the Audit Committee to the Audit Oversight Committee”, and it would have to be in writing, but someone else could move to amend to add sixteen pages of text, and then the Chair and/or Secretary could require that amendment to be in writing, but the Policy Manual would not require it. I find this section to be useless, and the discretion to require it as appropriate to the motion being moved exists without this.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Geoffrey Neale<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
