Rules or guidelines for moving a motion

[Guest kundabungkid]

When and at what type of meeting can a motion be put for debate. (eg, only at an AGM or ordinary/regular meeting.)

Unless the bylaws restrict the making of certain classes of motions (e.g., motions to amend the bylaws) to certain better-attended meetings, a main motion can be made at any meeting at which business is transacted, provided a quorum is present and previous notice of the motion is not required.

"When?"

When a motion is in order. That will depend on the order of business of the given assembly.

For example, you do approval of minutes first, typically.

For example, new business is the last class of business entertained, typically.

"What type of meeting?"

AGM (Annual General Meeting) is one.

A regular meeting of a society is one.

Restrictions are applicable for special meetings, if special meetings are even allowed per one's bylaws.

Your question is so very vague and generic, I don't know what problem you are trying to address/solve.

E.g., did someone tell you, "You cannot make a motion at an AGM?"

E.g., did someone tell you, "Your motion is not debatable?"

That might be true - organization do adopt special rules of order for their AGM (see "convention rules").

Some motions are not debatable.

So, if you could elaborate on the cause of your confusion, maybe we can post more precise answers.
