Motion made during in Camera session

What is the procedure for recording a motion made during an in Camera session?

Should it be brought forward into the next meeting and recorded in those minutes?

thanks

It is handled no differently then any other motion. However, the minutes of an Executive Session (which is RONR's term for an In Camera Session) should also be approved in Executive Session.

I wouldn't be so quick to say the two terms are equivalent.

And don't hold your breath waiting for the 11th Edition to do away with the archaic term, "executive session", which is neither executive nor a session. The authorship team has to play with the cards they've been dealt.

The same as always.

The Book never draws a distinction between:

(a.) regular (or "open") session

(b.) executive (or "closed") session

(c.) in camera session

(d.) secret session

... regarding the recording of the motion.

See The Book for minutes approval of an executive session, for its special handling.

Should it be brought forward into the next meeting and recorded in those minutes?

The Book says, "No."

See above.

As always, if you already have a rule in place to specify handling in way different from RONR (10th ed.) default handling, then that rule will apply as RONR yields.

The origin of the term may be archaic but it is in common current use in a wide variety of contexts--undescriptive as it may be.
