Dan Honemann Posted August 9, 2011 at 12:49 PM Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 at 12:49 PM can the chair make a motion?Generally speaking, the chair, if a member, can make motions in small boards (not more than about a dozen members present) and in committees, but his duty of impartiality prevents him from doing so in large assemblies.

jstackpo Posted August 9, 2011 at 06:00 PM Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 at 06:00 PM A "large assembly" chair could perfectly well get a friend (work with him before-hand) to offer the motion. The chair then retains his cloak of impartiality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ed Posted August 9, 2011 at 06:47 PM Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 at 06:47 PM Or the Chair can relinquish the Chair temporarily in order to make the motion, and then resume the Chair after the issue is dealt with if he/she really feels that it is important to make the motion. Although it would be better for another member to make the motion if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
