[Businessmtg] business meeting item 2, etc.

[Beth1818 at aol.com]

Hello all!
 
First, point of information, please:
1. Is the Chair of the meeting allowed to make motions?  Never heard  of such 
a thing anywhere else...
2.  Is the other "trusted servant" allowed to set forth the "reminder"  that 
the meeting is every other month and then second a motion the Chair made as  a 
result of the other's "reminder"?
 
If this is, indeed, a legitimate part of this supposedly democratic  process, 
is it in the best interest of ASP to conduct meetings in this "top  down" 
fashion?
 
Because we are discussing the important issue of where ASP members  
contributions will be going I would think our group  might be better served  if we had 
a full month rather than a week to discuss the issue, especially since  we 
participants are prohibited from making motions.   I vote against  closing the 
meeting now. 
 
If this is not possible or if the group votes to close it  then I  hope the 
"trusted servants" will at the very least pledge  to put  a freeze on taking 
money out of the ASP account (except for the $99 for the  server fee) until the 
next meeting when members jointly decide how and  where their contributions 
will be spent.
 
Beth
