Guest Charles Posted October 16, 2012 at 02:14 PM Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 at 02:14 PM Hello RR pros. Here's my two-part question: May an individual who introduces a motion (i.e., the mover) vote "no" once the motion goes to vote?Is there a specific provision within RR which discusses this (or is it merely permissible by way of not being disallowed)?Thank you in advance!

Louise Posted October 16, 2012 at 10:17 PM Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 at 10:17 PM He is not, however, permitted to speak against his own motion (p. 393, l.19-25)...although if he changes his mind about the motion while its pending, "he can...advise the assembly of this by asking permission to withdraw the motion."
