[Businessmtg] I make a motion, but I have some questions

[Laura M]

I just want to let everyone know that speaking your mind is perfectly OK
here. No one will look stupid for saying things or asking
questions...remember that HPs sometimes speak through us and what you share
might be exactly what someone else needs to hear.

As a point of note, we have a motion on the floor and all changes should be
added to the original so we can look at it in place. And please add your
thoughts so we can see your reasoning and consider it fully.
