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 prevailing <br /> side. A motion can be reconsidered only once except with unanimous approval of the Council. The first <br /> vote is on whether the motion should be reconsidered. If this passes, the second vote is on the item itself. <br /> Council may choose to place the reconsidered item on a future agenda. <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 saying: <br /> Point of order. The chair says: State your point of order. Upon hearing it, the chair may say: Your point <br /> is well taken, or Your point is not well taken. <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 giving <br /> up the chair. A majority of no votes is necessary to reverse the ruling; a tie sustains it. <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 of <br /> privilege). The Presiding Officer responds to the question or refers it to the proper person. <br /> !arules.fin) <br /> rev.December 19. 1995 <br /> A-2 <br />
