Name any three motions, and explain them fully (how they're raised, what they mean, and what they do)
1) Motion Precedence When there are several motions on the floor, the motion that takes precedence is the one that should be first entertained. Motion for an unmoderated caucus takes precedence over a motion for a moderated caucus. If there are two motions for a caucus of the same time length, the one for the longest time or the longest speaker’s time takes precedence. In general, motions that serve to further the debate take precedence, and are to be entertained at the discretion of the chair. The Chair can overrule, however. 2) Motion for a Moderated Caucus 3) Motion for an Unmoderated Caucus 4) Motion to Extend Debate This motion can refer to extending a moderated caucus, an unmoderated caucus, or time in open debate for a resolution. 5) Motion to Move Into Time Against, Time in Open Debate, OR Voting Procedure When debating a resolution in time for and no one is willing to speak for, delegates can motion to move into time against.
