Tim Wynn Posted February 22, 2012 at 04:52 PM Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 at 04:52 PM What can I say if I want the discussion to return to the motion for further discussion before a vote?When a motion is immediately pending, debate must be confined to the merits of that motion. If discussion drifts, raise a point of order, citing the following:"In debate a member's remarks must be germane to the question before the assembly -- that is, his statements must have bearing on whether the immediately pending motion should be adopted…" - RONR (11th ed.), p. 392, ll. 6-10.
