A quick definition of create a blank:
Term: CREATE A BLANK
Definition: When making a decision in a group, sometimes people have different ideas. To help everyone vote on all the ideas at once, someone can suggest creating a blank space instead of using specific words. This way, people can write down their own ideas and everyone can vote on them all together. It's like having a big piece of paper with lots of spaces for everyone to write their own ideas. This is called creating a blank.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: To create a blank space in a motion or proposal by removing one or more terms and replacing them with a blank space instead of different terms. This allows for a vote on several competing proposals at once, instead of voting separately on each proposal.
Example: In a meeting, a proposal is made to allocate funds for a new project. A member suggests amending the proposal by creating a blank for the amount of funds to be allocated, allowing for multiple options to be presented and voted on.
Explanation: By creating a blank space for the amount of funds to be allocated, members can suggest different amounts and have them voted on simultaneously. This saves time and allows for a more efficient decision-making process.
