[Businessmtg] consensus reached

[Lynne]

Hi everyone,

Thank you all for your input. I believe we have a consensus to move our 
business meetings to a quarterly schedule and for the SC to hold a 
special BM should the need arise.We are now moving into the 
parliamentary phase of this discussion. For reference, I have pasted the 
rules from our website below. This phase will last until the end of the 
day November 23rd.

the Chair will repost the points and agreements made represents the 
consensus of the KBDM phase.
c. Time limit for discussion. Unless stated otherwise, the time limit 
for discussion will be the end of the meeting. The Chair may set a 
shorter time limit, if needed.
2. Any member of the business meeting may make a motion on the issue or 
topic, and any other member may second the motion.
a. Motions without a second die for the lack of a second.

points agreed upon in the KBDM phase.

b. i. The maker of a motion on an issue that came from the KBDM phase 
does not have the same right of refusal to accept amendments to the

the motion or the Chair may accept the amendment.
