Striking an Agenda item

[Guest Warren]

I am familiar with the "tabling" of a motion..Is it possible to request to strike an item on the Board's Agenda or other way to keep the issue from being discussed?

For agendas, see FAQ #14.

 

And, on the outside chance that you might not be as familiar with the "tabling" of a motion as you think, see also FAQs #12 and #13.

I think I need to either memorize the Frequently Asked Questions and Official Interpretations or print out a list of them and keep them by my computer!  Referring posters to them sure saves a lot of typing....and probably results in better answers, too!

if I had a nickel for every time I neglected to link to an applicable FAQ or OI . . . I'd have a lot of nickels.

A member may move to strike an item from the agenda. Such a motion requires a majority vote for adoption if made while the agenda is pending or a 2/3 vote or vote of a majority of the entire membership if made after the agenda is adopted. This would not, however, prevent the issue from being discussed. A member may still make the motion under New Business. 

 

If a member wishes to prevent an item from being discussed, he should raise an Objection to Consideration of the Question when the motion is made. This requires a 2/3 vote against consideration to prevent consideration of the motion.
