During this chapter I thought most of it was common knowledge about the main motion. I got about half way though and thought it was intereating once it started talking about resolutions and preambles. The way I took this was a preamble was for the use of trying to put your opinion of the main motion into the motiin itself. I'm not entirelybsure if I percieved that the right way though. Also on page 104 it was talking about reaffim? Could someone explain this to me? Thanks!
I agree with Laura that most of this was common knowledge since it was about the main motion. However, I found something about previous notice that I definitely didn't catch the first time reading this chapter. If a member wishing to give previous notice while no business is pending and is unable to obtain the floor, the previous notice can interrupt any pending motion and is even still in order when another member has obtained the floor but has not yet began to speak. I found this really interesting because it said earlier on the chapter previous notice can only be given at the call of a meeting, but if it is of great importance, it can interrupt a motion/member as I said above.
This posting comes from Chris who messaged me his comment: The first thing I noticed about the chapter is the difference between original main motions and incidental main motions. I believe that is important because sometimes we forget that secondary, incidental, and privileged motions can be used when not attached to original main motions.
The second aspect I appreciated was reminder of precedence on motions applied to main motions and ordering of voting. Even though I am not chair, it is good to remember other parts of parliamentary procedure.
Previous notice is when you give notice about a motion you will make. In the chapter it kept sounding to me like it was reminding the assembly of something previously brought up. I found it confusing. But other than that, the chapter was quite basic.
