So that everyone is on the same page, the Roberts Rules flow for meeting progression is as follows.

1.  A member makes a motion regarding an item they wish a CF Board Decision on.

EX:  "I make a motion that the Board salaries be tripled in 2010"

2.  Another member seconds the motion if they feel it is worthy of consideration.

EX:  I second the motion.

3.  The Chair acknowledges the motion and second, restates the motion and calls for discussion.

4.  In the course of discussion, the motion may be tabled, amended or withdrawn.

5.  Following the discussion, a vote on the motion is called.

Each board member can then vote yea, nay or present (to show he is aware of the vote but chooses not to vote.)

6.  When the vote is resolved yea or nay, the results are announced.

====

If the item has been discussed in a previous meeting without resolution, it should appear under the OLD BUSINESS thread.

If the item has not previously been discussed, it should appear under the NEW BUSINESS thread.

If the item is of a informational nature only, it should appear under GOOD OF THE ORDER.

When the meeting is closed, the CF Secretary reviews the postings and creates meeting minutes, which are then posted under the CF Meeting Minutes thread.
