A motion is put forth...no one seconds it. How does one proceed

[Guest J A Fleming]

If a motion is put forth and no one seconds the motion . How does the committee proceed?

Seconds are not required in committees. So, the chair should state the question.

That's true as long as the committee is not so large that it functions like a large assembly.

See RONR(10th ed.), p. 34 footnote.

[Tim Wynn]

That's true

Thanks.

as long as the committee is not so large that it functions like a large assembly.

That, too, is true. See RONR(10th ed.), 483, l. 10-14

So the answer to your question is, IF amendments are not required, the question is placed before the committee.

IF seconds are required, and no one seconds the motion, then the motion dies for lack of a second.

Amendments?

Edited to correct spelling of "Amendments".

[Tim Wynn]

Amemdments?

I think an amendment is required in Mr. Novosielski's statement. My guess would be that he meant to type, "seconds."

That would be my guess, too.
