Motion implementing officer's recommendation

[paulmcclintock]

RONR p. 344 says an officer giving a report with a recommendation should not move implementation of the recommendation, that such a motion should come from another member. Assume such, and that the reporting officer is a member. Does it need an explicit second? I.e., if none is immediately given, should the chair call for one? Or should the chair and the assembly assume that a second member (the reporting officer) wishes for the motion to be considered?

There is no exception in this instance to the rule requiring that a motion be seconded.
