    Making A Motion Example

    Uploaded by

    Rachel Borczuch
    The document provides an example of how to make a motion during a meeting by outlining the process which includes a member making a motion and seconding it, then allowing for discussion on the pros and cons before calling question or consent to end discussion and put the motion to a vote. The director oversees the process by recognizing members to speak and calling for any objections before deciding if the time limit has been reached or the motion passes.

    Making a Motion

    Example

    Cast Member: I move to open a _____ minute discussion regarding ________.

    Director: There is a motion on the floor to open a _____ minute discussion regarding ______. Is
    there a second?

    Cast members who wish to second the motion raise 2 fingers and say, “Second.”

    Director: Second has been called by _____. Maker of the motion, first pro.

    Cast Member: We need to discuss ______ because ______.

    Director: Con?

    If any cast member wishes, they may offer a con. A con does not have to be offered. If no con is offered,
    the cast will proceed to the next step. If there is a con, pro/con will continue until there are no further
    cons. This debate is just to decide whether or not to proceed with the motion. It does not mean you
    necessarily agree with the ideas of the motion presented.

    Director: Pro?

    Cast: Question.

    Calling ‘question’ closes the pro/con debate.

    Director: Question has been called. Is there an objection to question?

    If any cast member feels that pro/con needs to continue, they may object to question.

    Cast: Consent.

    Calling ‘consent’ means that cast members are ready to proceed with the motion.

    Director: Consent has been called. Is there an objection to consent?

    If, for any reason, a cast member is not comfortable moving forward they may object to ‘consent’. If the
    motion involves voting or passing an amendment and a cast member does not want the motion to
    pass, they should object to ‘consent’ and not ‘question.’ The cast will then move to a paper vote.

    Director: Seeing none, you have ____ minutes OR motion passes.
