[Businessmtg] Re: Motion out of order

[Dawn Werezak]

Since this was addressed to the entire groupI am sending my response 
regarding not coming back to correct Steve's statement to the group that the 
motion put forth by Emee was out of order is because it was out of order, to 
the group as well.  According to the KBDM motions are only made when 
everyone has had their chance to have input into the discussion.  Not 
everyone in this meeting has voiced their thoughts or opinions on any of 
this.  It appears that the discussion is very much alive and very active. 
Having a motion put forth in the middle of an ongoing discussion simply 
shuts down the discussion and robs others of the opportunity to voice their 
opinions or thoughts.

As for the length of time that it will take for the group to come to a 
consensus that everyone can live with, I have no idea how long that will 
take.  I am prepared to wait until we have no more emails coming in on the 
topic rather than shut anyone down.

As for there being two people running the business meeting, I am unsure 
where this comes from.  The chairpersons for the Business Meeting, as stated 
in the Welcome Letters you received when you were subscribed to this 
meeting, and it is posted on the website as well, states that either the 
List Administrator or the Secretary chair the meeting depending upon 
availability.  Since our Secretary was not available due to an injury I am 
chairing the meeting.

Hopefully I have answered both points brought out in Emee's email regarding 
her motion.

Love and Serenity,
Dawn
