Jari Honora

Gary and Weldon, Your understanding of this is the same as mine. And as you said Gary, "This is the sort of question that is often influenced greatly by custom (i.e., past practice)." It's unfortunate that I have seen very widely-favored motions ruled out by the presider because "We're at Good of the Order ..." As is often the case, the body has never challenged for lack of knowledge.

I have been in several meetings where during the open discussion that takes place under "Good of the Order" a new business item (motion) will emerge. It has been said that an original main motion cannot be made within the "Good of the Order" section. I cannot find in RONR where handling business under "Good of the Order" is precluded.
