SPEAKING RULES -- The Chair awards the Convention floor to the speakers. A speaker listed on the Agenda may speak when called to do so by the Chair. The Chair decides who "has the floor" i.e. who may speak at one time. Given that this is an online affair, the Chair may give the floor to the entire Convention for informal debate.
MOTIONS -- Proposed motions shall be submitted to the Chair, who will publish it to the Convention as a proposal. There shall be a period at the discretion of the Chair for debating the motion and for submitting amendments.
Once this period has elapsed, amendments shall be voted on as a list (Clark-style), to save time, with each applying in chronological order.
The Chair will then call a vote, where the members of the Convention may vote PËR (for), CONTRÂ (against) or AUSTANÉU (I abstain). A majority of those present and voting is required in order for a motion to be adopted.
All votes shall be public and shall be tallied in public.
