Josh Martin Posted April 5, 2015 at 04:53 PM Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 at 04:53 PM When the floor won't entertain a motion. What do you do to have it entertained from the chair?Is the situation that a member is making a motion, and the chair is simply ignoring the motion rather than stating the question on the motion or ruling it out of order? If so, the proper course of action is for the member to raise a Point of Order, followed by an Appeal if necessary.If you suspect that the chair might also ignore the Point of Order and/or Appeal, see RONR, 11th ed., pgs. 650-653 for information on further steps to take.

Chris Harrison Posted April 5, 2015 at 04:54 PM Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 at 04:54 PM What do you mean by "entertain a motion?" Generally speaking the only way a motion won't be considered by the body is if there is not a second (assuming a second is required-which it isn't always) or the Chair rules the motion isn't in order (subject to an Appeal) or by a 2/3 vote the body decides not to consider it (RONR pp. 267-270).

Post #2And if the language in RONR that Mr. Martin referred you to on pages 650-653 is hard to understand, you might take a look at Official Interpretation No 2006-2: http://www.robertsrules.com/interp_list.html#2006_2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
