Guest Steven V. Agraviador Posted June 26, 2012 at 05:55 AM Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 at 05:55 AM Is is true that when nobody seconds a main motion, that motion becomes dead and no discussions ensues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary c Tesser Posted June 26, 2012 at 10:21 AM Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 at 10:21 AM Um. Kinda. The chairman should ask for a second, and if none comes, then he should let the matter go, and yes, move on.If this is a small board or committee, then relaxed rules are used -- in which there is no seconding of motions at all.

Josh Martin Posted June 28, 2012 at 11:13 PM Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 at 11:13 PM Huh?I think if you move the words "at that point" to the end of Mr. Hunt's sentence it will make more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Wynn Posted June 28, 2012 at 11:38 PM Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 at 11:38 PM I think if you move the words "at that point" to the end of Mr. Hunt's sentence it will make more sense.Or simply strike everything after "meeting."And, if you have time, strike out "brought up" and insert "made."

Guest Sherry Crow Posted July 13, 2012 at 10:28 PM Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 at 10:28 PM Are there times when a motion doesn't require a second? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted July 13, 2012 at 10:49 PM Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 at 10:49 PM Are there times when a motion doesn't require a second?Yes. See Tinted Pages 40-41 for details. Also, seconds aren't required in meetings of small Boards (about a dozen or fewer members present) and committees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
