How should a member introduce a main motion?

To introduce a main motion, a member should use the phrase "I move that...". This phrase is the standard formal way to present a motion in parliamentary procedure. It clearly indicates to the chair and other members that the individual is making a proposition for the group to consider. The use of "I move that..." conveys the intent to take action on a specific issue and prompts further discussion or debate within the assembly.

This format is essential because it provides clarity and helps maintain the order of the meeting, ensuring everyone understands a motion is being proposed. This helps the chair acknowledge the motion appropriately and allows other members to respond effectively.
