What is the purpose of requiring previous notice for certain motions or actions?

The purpose of requiring previous notice for certain motions or actions is to alert members ahead of time that a specific motion will be made. This notification allows members to prepare adequately for the discussion or debate surrounding the motion. When members know in advance what will be on the agenda, they can gather necessary information, formulate their arguments, and consider their positions, thereby enhancing the overall effectiveness of the meeting. This practice promotes transparency and enables more informed decision-making because members can express their views with a greater understanding of the motion’s implications.
