A Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Main Motion in Meetings

This guide outlines the eight essential steps to effectively process a main motion in formal meetings. Start by obtaining the floor and assigning it to the speaker, then make the motion by stating the proposed action. The process continues with a seconding of the motion, followed by discussion and debate. After deliberation, put the motion to a vote by asking for those in favor and those opposed. Finally, announce the outcome of the vote and declare the motion's status as either carried or lost, ensuring clarity and formality throughout the procedure.
