request for leave to withdraw a motion

A quick definition of request for leave to withdraw a motion:

A request for leave to withdraw a motion is when someone asks permission to take back a suggestion they made during a meeting. This is like saying "never mind" or "I changed my mind" about something they proposed. It's important to ask for permission to withdraw a motion because once the chairperson has stated the question, the motion belongs to the whole group and not just the person who suggested it.

A more thorough explanation:

A request for leave to withdraw a motion is a motion made by the mover to end consideration of the motion without reaching a decision on its merits. This means that the person who made the motion wants to take it back and not have it voted on.

During a meeting, a member makes a motion to increase the budget for a project. However, after some discussion, the member realizes that the increase is not necessary and wants to withdraw the motion. The member can make a request for leave to withdraw the motion, which would allow them to take back the motion without it being voted on.

This example illustrates how a request for leave to withdraw a motion can be used to stop a motion from being voted on if the mover changes their mind.
