Guest Rookie Posted November 18, 2018 at 08:57 PM Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 at 08:57 PM Example: A motion has passed requiring the formation of a new committee. Can the chair then solicit motions regarding how to form the new committee (election or appointment, size, manner of election), or must he wait for the floor to offer such motions?

In fact, he should do so if it is not already included in the adopted motion and if no other member does so. Edited to add: See pages 168 - 176 regarding the motion to Commit or Refer Edited November 18, 2018 at 09:20 PM by Richard Brown Added last paragraph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Richard. No. In fact, a competent chair should ask for such details while the motion to create the committee is pending, not after it has been adopted.
