For the most part, if there is a proposal to do something, the motion show be stated in a positive way. Perhaps if this is an ongoing operational or recurring "situation" where someone wishes to go on record as "not approving", then defeating the motion might mean that the situation can continue.

Gary Novosielski Posted October 22, 2012 at 07:40 PM Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 at 07:40 PM The motion "to not approve" or "not to approve" was probably out of order, and should have been so ruled by the chair.No motion is in order which if adopted would have the same effect as doing nothing. And this certainly seems to qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
