Out of Order Motions

[Guest curiousperson]

During meetings, motions are made. Sometimes motions are amended or passed. Sometimes they are withdrawn or out of order. It is with understanding the secretary keeps all motions that are made during meeting but what is recorded for the public use?

Motions that are passed?

Motions that failed?

Motions that withdrawn?

Motions that out of order?

Motions that postponed indefinitely?

Motions that are tabled?

Please advise.

Thank you.

Motions that are tabled?

All of the above except for motions that are withdrawn (RONR pp. 452-453)

Edit: There actually are times where some mention of a withdrawn motion should be included in the minutes. See the footnote on p. 452.

And since the authors of Robert's Rules took the time to write it, see Official Interpretation 2006-7 about unseconded main motions which also should be on your list of motions to record.

What type of meetings?

Are you referring to the minutes?

Are the minutes "recorded for the public use"?
