23. Content by Jennifer Gray A Few Questions Is it in order? (Does it relate to the part of the agenda we are on at that time?) May I interrupt the speaker? There are times when it is ok because the motion is so important to the matter. Do I need a second? Usually YES Is it debatable? You have the right to debate most motions.

24. Content by Jennifer Gray A Few More Questions! Can it be Amended? Some motions can be changed by striking out or inserting words. What vote is needed? Majority most times. (2/3 vote when it concerns your rights) Can it be reconsidered? Some motions can be debated again to give members a chance to change their minds. The motion to reconsider has to come from the winning side.

Wait for your second (Another member says “I second that motion.”)
