motion may speak on amendment
Any member may speak during debate on an amendment consistent with clause 9.6(b).

    Effect of an amendment
If an amendment to a substantive motion is carried, the motion as amended then becomes the substantive motion, on which any member may speak and any further amendment may be moved.

    Withdrawal of motion or amendment
  (1)    The Council or a committee may, without debate, grant leave to withdraw a motion or amendment on the request of the mover of the motion or amendment, if –
    (a)    the request has the approval of the seconder; and
    (b)    there is no voice expressed to the contrary by any member.
  (2)    If subclause (1)(a) or (b) applies, discussion on the motion or amendment is to continue.
  (3)    Where an amendment has been proposed to a substantive motion, the substantive motion is not to be withdrawn, except by consent of the majority of members present, until the amendment proposed has lapsed, been withdrawn or lost.

    Right of reply
  (1)    The mover of a substantive motion has the right of reply.
  (2)    The mover of any amendment to a substantive motion has a right of reply.
  (3)    The right of the reply may only be exercised –

    (b)    where one or more amendments have been moved to the substantive motion, at the conclusion of the discussion on the substantive motion and any amendments.
  (4)    After the mover of the substantive motion has commenced the reply –
    (a)    no other member is to speak on the motion;
    (b)    there is to be no further discussion on, or any further amendment to, the motion.
  (5)    The right of the reply is to be confined to rebutting arguments raised by previous speakers and no new matter is to be introduced.
  (6)    At the conclusion of the right of reply, the substantive motion, or the substantive motion as amended, is immediately to be put to the vote.

    Foreshadowing motions
  (1)    Should a member wish to indicate to the meeting a substantive motion that either negates or adds to a motion without having moved an amendment, in order to have the meeting consider a new substantive motion on the matter, the member may foreshadow the new substantive motion prior to the right of reply.
  (2)    The presiding member may accept a foreshadowed alternative recommendation.
  (3)    In accordance with clauses 9.5 and 9.10, a foreshadowed motion or amendment shall not be discussed until the substantive motion or amendment under consideration has been determined.
