Not unilaterally. "Before a motion has been stated by the chair, it is the property of its mover, who can withdraw it or modify it without asking the consent of anyone." "After a motion has been stated by the chair, it belongs to the meeting as a whole, and the maker must request the assembly's permission to withdraw or modify his own motion" See RONR (12th ed.), 33:11-19 Edited May 24, 2022 at 08:13 PM by George Mervosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
