Then the Chairman calls for a discussion of old business, that is, anything discussed at previous meetings, that has been left undone or left to be decided at a later date. Any member of the meeting may bring up this old business, or the Chairman may start the discussion. "The business before the meeting is ——. What is your pleasure in regard to this," or "Will anyone make a motion?"
The member who wishes to make the motion says: "Madam Chairman, I move that—"
Another member who agrees to this says: "I second the motion."
If the motion is not seconded at once, the Chairman says: "Will anyone second the motion?"
After the motion has been moved and seconded the Chairman immediately states the question as, "It has been moved and seconded that the troop have a Rally on May 2. Are you ready for the question?" or "The question is now open for discussion." If no one rises, the Chairman proceeds to put the question. "All those in favor say aye, opposed no."
Then the Chairman says, "The motion is carried," or "The motion is not carried," as the case may be.
After the old business has been attended to, the Chairman calls for new business, saying, "Is there any new business to be discussed?"
The Chairman then dismisses the meeting by calling for a motion for adjournment.
Adjournment: "Will some one move that the meeting be adjourned?"
If this is moved and seconded it is not necessary to put it to a vote.
