Thank you all for your informative and thoughtful responses. Very helpful!

Thank you!!

Scenario... Once a motion is put on the floor and seconded, and we move into discussion - hands are raised (virtually, for time being) and a list/queue is established for order of discussion on the Motion. Then a Motion to Amend is put on the floor, seconded, and moved to discussion of the amendment. So... Does that start with an entirely new list/queue of people to speak on the Amendment?? And then, for the entire list/queue of the prior main Motion - is that list “frozen” and recorded in order in case the amendment fails, and we return to discussion on that main Motion?

Thank you, Richard! Very helpful.

I'm searching for some RONR verbiage about a question I have, and can't seem to find it... Is there written etiquette as to how a Chair (or Co-Chair) should conduct a meeting? For example; should a Chair sponsor a proposal? Sign onto a proposal? Share their opinion, or stay neutral? etc. Thank you for any assistance.

Can an Amendment be amended?

Can you give an opinion, and then call for question?

Thank you Bruce!

During a Roll Call Vote (called in alpha order) - may a member "pass" and ask to be called on later for their vote? Or must they vote when initially called upon?

Very helpful - thank you all!!

Thank you, Weldon. So in the case where there are 4 Officers (Chair, VC, Sec/Treas, and Chair Emeritus) - if the Chair and VC recuse themselves, would the gavel be passed to the Sec/Treas or the Chair Emeritus...without the need for approval or votes, since they are elected officers?

Can the Chair pro tem be someone that is NOT a member of the Board? Can the Chair pro tem be an advisor to the Board?
