Guest serious Posted June 10, 2010 at 04:15 AM Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 at 04:15 AM May the chair deny to recognize a motion for reasons including inadequate information available to consider such motion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. J! Posted June 10, 2010 at 04:51 AM Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 at 04:51 AM The chair may rule, subject to appeal, that a motion is not in order for reasons supported by the rules. Whether there is "inadequate information available to consider such motion" is for the assembly, not the chair, to decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NoMoMrNiceGuy Posted June 10, 2010 at 02:04 PM Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 at 02:04 PM so this then brings me to the next obvious question - what are legitimate grounds for the Chairman to deny a motion ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted June 10, 2010 at 02:20 PM Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 at 02:20 PM If the motion is improper, not in order, or in violation of appropriate rules, for some reasonably clear reason.But please don't ask us to define "improper" here or 'splain the "reasons" - too much to type - see RONR p. 106 for starters.

Rob Elsman Posted June 10, 2010 at 07:40 PM Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 at 07:40 PM The chairman may not refuse to recognize a member to make a motion on account that the chairman thinks there is inadequate information available to consider the motion, even if he is correct in his judgment.
