J. J. Posted February 19, 2012 at 10:00 PM Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 at 10:00 PM There are various motions that have the effect of defeating or "killing" a motion, but there is no specific "kill motion." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Wynn Posted February 19, 2012 at 10:04 PM Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 at 10:04 PM can a membership make a motion to "kill" a motion or vote?The motion to Postpone Indefinitely can be used to kill a motion for the remainder of the session without actually taking a vote on the motion to which it applies. By a two-thirds vote against consideration, an assembly can block an original main motion from being brought before the assembly. This is initiated by a member making a motion to object to the consideration of the question. Other than that, the motion can just be voted down.

Guest Lance Posted February 19, 2012 at 10:04 PM Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 at 10:04 PM Thank you. That is what I thought. To do it properly, one would have to "postpone indefinitely", correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To do it properly, one would have to "postpone indefinitely", correct?In this regard, Postpone Indefinitely is used when it is desired to prevent the motion from being put to a direct vote.

To do it properly, one would have to "postpone indefinitely", correct?But the "indefinitely" runs out at the next meeting, when the motion can be renewed (i.e. is resurrected from the grave, alive and well).

Guest Lance Posted February 19, 2012 at 10:31 PM Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 at 10:31 PM OK, this can be done for a motion. But can it be done when the motion had already been called and spoke upon for 9 months, and a vote on an agreement was to take place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David A Foulkes Posted February 19, 2012 at 11:26 PM Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 at 11:26 PM How is that you have a motion on the floor for 9 months and you haven't gotten around to voting yet? That is a bit unusual. So, how does your organization manage its meetings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lance Posted February 19, 2012 at 11:56 PM Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 at 11:56 PM We meet monthly, and due to our hours of work, we have at least 3 seperate meetings in that day for the different shifts. the motion was to addopt a new "leave agreement", i.e. how we preschedule & use our earned vacation time. monthly, there were additions/deletions to the proposal, each time the members were informed until we were able to arrive at an end "agreement" between us and management to which we voted on in the first 2 meetings but a "kill" motion was called for to stop the vote for the 3rd meeting.
