Handling Motions
Procedure in Small Boards:
In large boards business is transacted the same as in the
society meetings; but in small boards the same formality is not necessary or
usual, the informality observed by committees being generally allowed. In a
board meeting where there are not more than about a dozen present, for instance,
it is not necessary to rise in order to make a motion, nor to wait for
recognition by the chair before speaking or making a motion, nor for a motion to
have a second; nor is there any limit to the number of speeches, nor does the
chairman leave the chair when making a motion or discussing a question. The
formalities necessary in order to transact business in a large assembly would
hinder business in so small a body.
