The Committee transacts business through motions made by Committee <br />Members. These motions are seconded, and subsequently passed or rejected by Committee vote. <br /> <br />(a) The Committee Member states his or her motion (usually in the following form: "I <br />move. . . [text of the motion]"). The Committee Member making a motion does not need to favor it or <br />vote for it. The Committee Member may wish to put the issue before the Committee so a decision can <br />be made. <br /> <br />(b) Another Committee Member then seconds the motion by saying: "I second the <br /> <br />motion." <br /> <br />(c) The Chair recognizes the motion and opens the pending motion to discussion. The <br />presiding officer calls for the vote at the end of the discussions and announces the result of the vote. <br />
