Richard Brown Posted May 28, 2015 at 01:56 AM Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 at 01:56 AM Yes. It can be re-introduced just as if it had never been introduced before. In parliamentary lingo, that is called "renewing" a motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the procedure being referenced in the above answer? No. By the way, you are referring to the 4th edition of Robert's Rules of Order, which is 100 years old. The current edition, the 11th, was published in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Guest Posted May 31, 2015 at 02:58 PM Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 at 02:58 PM Is this the procedure being referenced in the above answer? The text you cited refers to Reconsidering a motion at the same meeting at which it was defeated (or adopted). The original question (and answer) refers to Renewing a defeated motion at a subsequent meeting. Note that the term "Reconsider" has a very specific parliamentary meaning which differs from it's meaning in ordinary usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
