I think that we were thinking of having Bob so rule, on the basis of general ageement having been reached, unless someone objected. That's why I thought Bob G had in fact actually made a ruling. Anyway, I can't seem to locate the discussion. Someone else will have to find it because I've now got to leave the meeting. I think the Assembly should ask Bob to make such a ruling, in my opinion.
As to no amending motions after voting starts, that is in the Meeting Procedures:
3. Role of the Posting Secretary
The Secretary, or his/her designated alternate, shall be made a Governors’ Discussion Board Administrator. S/he shall post the meeting agenda, discussion threads and motion voting threads on the Governors’ Discussion Board as follows:
( i ) Posting of Meeting Agenda – .......
( ii ) Agenda Items – ...
( iii ) Agenda Item Introductions – .....
( iv ) Motions - ........After voting on motions has commenced, there can be no amending of the motion......
