quasi-main motion

Read a random definition: advance directive

A quick definition of quasi-main motion:

A quasi-main motion is a type of motion that is similar to an incidental main motion. It is a request made during a meeting or discussion that is related to the main topic being discussed, but not directly related to it. For example, if a group is discussing plans for a fundraiser, a quasi-main motion could be a suggestion to change the date of the event. It is important to note that a quasi-main motion is not the main topic of discussion, but rather a related suggestion or request.

A more thorough explanation:

A quasi-main motion is a type of motion that is similar to an incidental main motion. It is a motion that is made during a meeting or assembly that is related to the main motion being discussed, but is not directly related to it.

For example, if a group is discussing a main motion to purchase new equipment, a member may make a quasi-main motion to amend the main motion to include a specific brand of equipment. This motion is related to the main motion, but is not directly about the purchase of new equipment.

Another example of a quasi-main motion is a motion to refer a main motion to a committee for further study. This motion is related to the main motion, but is not directly about the topic being discussed.

Overall, a quasi-main motion is a motion that is related to the main motion being discussed, but is not directly about it. It is a way for members to bring up related issues or suggestions during a meeting or assembly.

@ClockworkBlue: god I hope that's true
if the country was run the same as Mich Law it would be a better place
Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
I'm curious, how bold can one be in those videos? Is it worth making a satirical Jason Statham-action short if the adcoms have no sense of humor?
the more risk you take the higher chance of it backfiring
my instinct would be low humor bc if they have such a complex application I would feel hesitant to use a major part of it as a joke. They clearly take their admissions seriously and a joke video might convey the wrong thing at the wrong time. I think that humor is best put into a PS anecdote where it adds some shine to your personality
safe is always better
All good points
