***************
A yes vote will sustain the State Coordinator's decision to end the discussion of the
previous motion on a date of his own choosing, skip the vote on ending discussion, and
skip the vote on the motion.
A no vote will overrule the State Coordinator's decision.
***************
This vote has nothing to do with the committee, which was never referenced in my appeal
except in a brief reference. So Dale's original description at the very least is
poorly stated and therefore confusing. It also leaves out two of the three points I made.
The above is a much more accurate way to present my issue.
"It is the duty of the presiding officer to state every motion as correctly and
clearly as possible even though it may be necessary to change the wording of the motion.
The meaning of the motion, however, cannot be changed, without the consent of the
proposer. If the presiding officer makes an error in stating a motion, or if there is a
difference of opinion as to the exact wording of the motion, the motion as stated by the
member is the legal motion." (Sturgis, p. 14).

This is time for voting, not for discussing the motion.

I object to the way it is worded. It should be clear what is being voted on
and the wording should not be biased.
But, to get this over without further argument, but to be clear what my vote
is:
I am voting NO to sustain the decision of the chair which decision was to
not allow discussion to be ended properly. Chair's decision is here:
http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/OHGEN/2008-11/1227916927
This does not mean that I would necessarily want to continue discussion on
the motion to form a committee, just don't understand why we can't follow
the rules we have in place!!!
Happy Holidays all!
