Guest Tommy Posted August 21, 2018 at 06:00 PM Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 at 06:00 PM If a motion is made to carry over an agenda item, is it proper to just make the motion, "I move to carry over Item 4 on the agenda..." before the Chair states what the agenda item pertains to? Second question Using the example above, is the "Agenda Item 4" immediately taken up after "agenda item 5?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted August 21, 2018 at 06:20 PM Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 at 06:20 PM If by "carry over" you mean (RONR's formal word) "postpone", the motion should include a statement of when you want to postpone the matter to. See page 179ff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second question Using the example above, is the "Agenda Item 4" immediately taken up after "agenda item 5?" Please clarify what is meant by a motion to “carry over” an agenda item. Additionally, please clarify whether this motion is made when the agenda itself is pending for adoption, when the agenda item is pending (or is about to become pending), or at some other time. It is certainly not proper to just make the motion “I move to carry over Item 4 on the agenda,” since there is no such thing as a motion to “carry over.” If you can clarify what is intended, we can provide the proper motion to use.
