  1. I'm looking at this motion and wondering exactly what we have here. If this is treated as a motion to postpone to a time certain, it can only be postponed to the next regular meeting occurring within a quarterly time interval. But it really isn't a "time certain," since the amended project might not ever be presented. If no such "amended project" is in the works, could this be considered a motion to postpone indefinitely?
  2. Although I have just begun posting here, I will add my $0.02 worth. My introduction to parliamentary procedure happened in high school when I was on an FBLA parliamentary procedure team. I observed some older friends preparing for a competition during my freshman year, and in my sophomore year I was invited to join the team. At that time, we used the 1990 edition of RONR. At the same time, I was appointed as the youth representative to my church's executive board. Fast-forward more than twenty years. When I became an officer in a fraternal service organization, I saw that the meetings had much room for improvement. That led me to buy a new copy of RONR, and also to look online to refresh my memory of parliamentary procedure. Then I found this forum, where I have been reading past and current threads to expand my knowledge. Now that I am president (actually an organization-specific title equivalent to president) of the aforementioned organization, I hope to bring more order to our meetings. One strategy I am using is to post a short article about parliamentary procedure in our organization's newsletter. So far, I have covered (A) the difference between lay on the table and postpone definitely, and (B ) previous question, both of which seem to be commonly-misunderstood topics.
