post54 Posted December 15, 2014 at 11:10 PM Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 at 11:10 PM In the minutes under the heading Agenda Approval does the secretary simply put 'person x motioned to approve the amended agenda, motion carried' or does the secretary include in the minutes what the amendments specifically were?

Hieu H. Huynh Posted December 15, 2014 at 11:17 PM Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 at 11:17 PM I think the minutes could say, "The agenda was adopted after amendment" and have a copy of the amended agenda attached to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hieu H. Huynh Posted December 15, 2014 at 11:28 PM Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 at 11:28 PM Yes, if the assembly took action on it. Also see FAQ #14 regarding agendas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Brown Posted December 16, 2014 at 04:25 AM Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 at 04:25 AM Whatever you do, don't use the word "motioned". Why should I not use the word 'motioned'Well, I suppose if a traffic cop is motioning wildly for you to turn right or back up, you could say "He motioned me to move". But, in parliamentary procedure, one doesn't "motion a move", one "moves a motion". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, according to RONR (p.32), one makes a motion (by saying, "I move . . . "). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
