Adapted from another organization:  "This guide is intended to help draft motions, it is not intended to be definitive.  There may be motions that are unacceptable for presentation (example, a motion that is personally punitive).
​MOTION
  • Should be clearly stated and can be answered as “yes” or “no”.  Needs to be able to be understood without reference to any other material, including the background material.
  • Be aware that two part motions may fail by resistance to one part or the other, or a lack of clarity in one part.
  • Ensure it does not conflict with our vision and purpose statements.
  • Use plain language.
  • You will have an opportunity to speak to the motion, but the motion must still stand on its own. 
HISTORY OR CURRENT PRACTICES:
  • This is intended to help understand the context of the motion.
  • What are we doing now?
  • Has this kind of motion been considered before?
  • Try not to refer to what someone else says or does.
  • Are we correcting something inconsistent with our Constitution, Bylaws, Rules & Regulations, or the Society Act of 2016.
IF PASSED:
  • What will change?
  • How will the membership be impacted?
  • Is there any negative effect?
  • Why should we do this?  Why is this motion needed?
IF NOT PASSED:
  • How will the Membership be impacted?
FOR FURTHER CONSIDERATION:
  • Any other useful information.  Again, not referring to what any individual says or does.
