The main motion is the major proposal or suggestion for action. It is the only way to bring business before the group. The member rises, remains standing, waits for recognition, and addresses the chair. Seconding member need not address the chair, be recognized, or rise. Members wishing to speak for or against the motion must rise, address the chair, and be recognized.
Members generally speak only once, and limit their remarks to pertinent comments.
If no one objects, the chairman puts the motion to a vote. The chairman again repeats the motion. All in favor of the motion say 'Aye'. All those opposed say 'No'. The chairman then announces the results.
