friendly amendment

Read a random definition: marital settlement agreement

A quick definition of friendly amendment:

A friendly amendment is a change suggested to a proposal or motion that the person who made the original proposal agrees with and no one else objects to. It is called "friendly" because it is meant to improve the proposal and make it more likely to be accepted. Even if the person who made the original proposal accepts the friendly amendment, it still needs to be discussed and voted on by everyone else.

A more thorough explanation:

A friendly amendment is a proposed change to a motion or proposal that is supported by the original proposer and does not face any objections from other members. It is handled under the same rules as other amendments and must be debated and voted on formally unless adopted by unanimous consent.

  • During a meeting, a member proposes a motion to allocate funds for a community project. Another member suggests a friendly amendment to increase the amount of funds allocated. The original proposer agrees, and no other members object, so the amendment is added to the motion.
  • In a parliamentary procedure, a member proposes a motion to change the organization's bylaws. Another member suggests a friendly amendment to clarify a specific section of the bylaws. The original proposer agrees, and no other members object, so the amendment is added to the motion.

These examples illustrate how a friendly amendment is a proposed change to a motion that is supported by the original proposer and does not face any objections from other members. It is a way to improve the motion or proposal and increase its chances of adoption.
