Tom,
Big +1 from me.
How about you put this forward as a
standing rule motion at the next Assembly call.
I think that it is far better to get
problems with the wording sorted out before formal motions take place.
Motions can be an abysmal and slow way
of changing text.
If there is a problem that folk have
with the nature of the proposal, that is a different matter. That
is where
amendments to formal motions allow for
good decisionmaking.
Yours, Mike.

| [sca-assembly] Discussion Proposed solutions
before premature motion and long ammendement chains |
|
In discussing the issue 6, a Motion was made to accept
the proposed
solution, before we had time to
discuss the wording of the proposal.
In many committees, it has been allowed to have wordsmith to a proposed
issue resolution before a motion
to accept is made.
This allows easier discussion of the wording changes without going thru
a painful chain of ammendments.
I suggest that motions should not be made until there has been
discussion of the proposed resolution, and
people have had a chance to voice all their concerns on the proposed text.
