1. Roberts Rules of Order will be our main guide.
2. To move a resolution or speak to a motion, go to the nearest microphone; state name and county.
3. Debate will be limited to two (2) minutes per speaker.
4. The mover of a resolution has the right to speak first and may speak again to close debate.
5. Amendments or substitute motions must be moved and seconded before being spoken to.
6. The main resolution will be read, moved and seconded. County delegates who feel strongly that their specific need will not be debated by the main motion, may ask to deal with it separately, before debate on the main motion begins, or they may amend specifics into the main motion.
7. The vote will be called when:
   (a) All who wish to speak have done so; or
   (b) When the “previous question” to close debate has been moved, seconded and passed by a 2/3 majority; or
   (c) When several speakers have spoken on the same side of an issue and no one is wanting to speak in opposition.
8. Delegate voting cards will be used for all votes (unless a motion to use secret ballots is passed).
9. Independent scrutineers will be appointed and accepted by the meeting. They will count the votes on specific or close issues and also count the ballots.
10. Anyone in attendance may speak to a resolution, but only official delegates may move or second resolutions, amendments, etc.

A Very Mini, Bare-Bone Skeleton of Procedures

1. Main Motion Must be moved and seconded
2. Amendments or Substitute Motion Cannot change the subject but can add to, delete from, or reword; passing a substitute motion takes the main motion with it.
3. Motion to table Mover, seconder, non-debatable, majority.
4. Motions to refer or defer Mover, seconder, debatable only to where referred or how long deferred; majority, but where deferral is changing the agenda, then needs 2/3 majority.
5. Previous question to close debate Mover, seconder, non-debatable, 2/3 majority; if passed, then vote on amendment or main motion (not necessarily both) is taken immediately without further debate. If lost, debate continues.
6. Objection to consider a question Does not need a second, must be made before debate begins even if another has the floor, non-debatable, 2/3 majority.

NOTE:

A. A motion to reconsider a resolution may be made by one who voted on the prevailing side. Needs majority vote to reconsider. If passed, opens the main question for additional debate.
B. A motion to suspend or change the rules of debate that have been accepted by the assembly, needs a 2/3 majority vote.
