ON TIME MOTIONS TO SEPTEMBER 20, 2007 STBU COUNCIL
An On Time Motion is a motion submitted by any member by the deadline in accordance with our rules. On Time Motions are presented in this document as written by the Mover/Seconder. On Time Motions are subject to change by Steering if required to put them in order. A motion to a meeting remains the property of the Mover/Seconder until such time as it is moved for debate at that meeting. As such, it may be altered by the Mover/Seconder any time up until it is moved for debate. A motion only becomes the official position of the Union if endorsed by a majority vote conducted in accordance with our meeting rules.
