[Businessmtg] Motion on the Floor

[List Administrator]

Biz-Pals,

Please notice:

Once there's a motion on the floor continued discussion is halted 
awaiting a second. Should no second be heard in a reasonable amount of 
time (here online that would be considerable longer than were we meeting 
f2f) the motion would be taken from the table and discussions could 
continue. As it stands we are still awaiting a possible second to this 
motion.

According to ASP practice, once a motion is heard ASP's Knowledge-Based 
Decision Making process (KBDM) reverts to Robert's Rules of Order 
(RR's). Until it is determined that a second will not be forthcoming 
further discussions on the topic at hand are out of order. If a second 
is forthcoming the motion will come to a vote. If that vote were to fail 
then further discussions could continue under KBDM, or a different 
motion on this agenda item would be entertained in which case we'd stick 
with RR's. If it were to pass the Business Meeting would move on to 
another agenda item: our trusted servant reports or new business, again 
using ASP's KBDM process.

In service,
Jerry H., Chair
