Yes, electronic business as a homeowners association with three out of seven members absentee. Thank you for your input.

I failed to specify the additional detail in my original question that my motion had already been called for a vote. At that point, surely, a subsidiary motion can't alter it, right? It seems unreasonable that there are obstructions to a motion at such a late phase of its processing. Can't I insist that the vote go forward and not have to wait for a new motion trying to negate it?

What am I missing here? That sounds exactly like a new motion in opposition to the first.

When a motion has been made, seconded and discussed, can a new motion in opposition of it be moved before a vote is taken on the first motion?
