Cuibono Posted July 15, 2018 at 06:59 AM Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 at 06:59 AM I'm a parliamentarian of a large international student-run organization. I anticipate that a motion that will probably be brought at the next board meeting concerning a fundraising idea will be defeated for rather selfish reasons. I think that bringing this motion up again will most likely pass upon further reflection. Can the maker of the motion bring "a motion to renew" the motion for this fundraising idea at the next meeting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can the maker of the motion bring "a motion to renew" the motion for this fundraising idea at the next meeting? What do you mean by "a motion to renew"? There's no motion called a "motion to renew" in RONR. But yes, if a main motion is rejected during one session, any member can make the same motion again at any later session* unless it has become absurd. Take a careful look at Section 38 in RONR (11th ed.). ---------------------------------------------- * If you meant to ask if the defeated main motion can be made again during the same session, the answer is no, although a motion to reconsider the vote by which it was defeated might be made by any member who voted against it. Take a look at Section 37 for details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Who's Coming to Dinner Posted July 15, 2018 at 02:07 PM Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 at 02:07 PM Thus, anticipating the motion's defeat, one might vote against it in order to later move reconsideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted July 15, 2018 at 03:09 PM Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 at 03:09 PM Correct - but not TOO much later. Reconsider has time limits -- see page 316 (b). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one who votes against the motion in order to move its reconsideration should not be the parliamentarian, who should not vote at all. And should be impartial.

Richard Brown Posted July 15, 2018 at 04:47 PM Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 at 04:47 PM Ok. I agree. Your original response, "and also not the parliamentarian", wasn't clear what it was you were trying to say about the parliamentarian.
