6. Reconsider. Usually debatable; majority vote <br />A vote may be reconsidered at the same or next regular meeting by someone who voted on the <br />prevailing side. A motion can be reconsidered only once except with BRanimo[18 approval of the <br />Council. The first vote is on whether the motion should be reconsidered. If this passes, the second <br />vote is on the item itself. Council may choose to place the reconsidered item on a future agenda. <br /> <br />7, Point of order and appeal. <br />A member who feels the rules are not being followed may call attention to the breach by rising and <br />saying: Point of order. The chair says: State your point of order. Upon heating it, the chair may say: <br />Your point is well taken, or Your point is not well taken. <br /> <br />One dissatisfied with the ruling may appeal to the meeting for a final decision: Shall the decision of the <br />chair be sustained? This appeal is debatable, and the Presiding Officer may enter the debate without <br />giving up the chair. A majority of no votes is necessary to reverse the ruling; a tie sustains it. <br /> <br />8. Questions and inquiries. <br />Whenever necessary, advice may be asked as to correct procedures (parliamentary inquiry), facts may <br />be requested (point of information), or a change may be sought for comfort or convenience (question <br />of privilege). The Presiding Officer responds to the question or refers it to the proper person. <br /> <br />A-2 <br /> <br /> <br />
