Motion

Open in App
Solution

A motion is a topic or subject proposed as a basis of dis­cussion. Since a member at a meeting formally introduces or moves a subject for discussion it is called a motion. With the permission of the chairman a motion is moved by an individual. He ‘secures the floor’, addresses the chairman and makes a short speech in support of the motion.

Rules Regarding Motion:

(1) Only one ‘motion can be moved at a time.

(2) A motion should preferably be placed in writing, signed by the mover.

(3) The wording must be properly made so that it can be converted into a resolution in proper form. Generally the help of the secretary is sought in this respect as he is an expert in this line.

(4) Usually the language of a motion is ‘affirmative’ i.e. an intention to do something. Some formal motions may be ‘negative’ .
