STANDING ORDERS

1. That notices of all intended motions shall be given in writing to the Secretary who
shall place the notices on the Agenda on the order received.

2. That each member on speaking shall rise and address himself to the Chairman and
not to any Member of the Council. During the time any Member is speaking, all the other
Members shall remain seated. Whenever the Chairman rises to speak, no one shall continue
standing nor shall anyone rise until the Chair has been resumed.

3. That all motions whether original ones or amendments, shall, if the Chairman
requests it, be reduced to writing, signed by the mover, and handed to the Secretary,
immediately on being moved, and that every member proposing such motion or amendment
shall read the same before speaking on it.
4. That the mover of every original resolution but not of any amendment (unless it
became an original motion) shall have the right to reply, not introducing therein any new
matter, but confining himself strictly to the answering of the previous objection
immediately after which the question shall be put from the Chair. No other Member shall
be allowed to speak more than once on the same question unless permission be given to
explain, or the attention of the Chairman be called to a point of order.

5. A resolution shall not be rescinded or again discussed at a Meeting of the
Committee at which it has been passed unless the motion to rescind shall be carried by not
less than two thirds of the Members present. Other notices of rescinding must be made in
writing and appear on the Agenda before any decision can be varied or annulled.
6. No representative shall leave the Meeting without first having obtained the
Chairman’s permission.
