Meetings: Other Business & Close - Community Titles

In this and the following sections we take you through the agenda of a community corporation AGM.
Other Business & Close:
Any decisions that are made should be put as a motion. Ask for
a mover and seconder. If there is no support by way of a seconder, declare
that the motion lapses for lack of a seconder. If there is a seconder
then ask for any discussion on the motion. After a two or three speakers
for and against, you can say: "I will now call for a vote
on the motion" (You may ask the Secretary to read the motion again
so that members are sure of what they are voting on).
"All those in favour? Against? I declare the motion carried/lost".
Is there any further business?OTHER BUSINESS:

Hint
As chairperson:
- consider asking for other business at the start of the meeting - this makes gagging an unsupported member easier
- limiting discussion may be useful where the meeting is running late, or others present do not want to discuss the matter
- it is at the pleasure of the meeting whether it accepts a motion not on the agenda
- consult the 'Three Laws' of Meetings and 'Robert's Rules' under Tools for more help in this arear.
