specific main motion

Read a random definition: Posse Comitatus Act

A quick definition of specific main motion:

A specific main motion is a request made during a meeting or discussion that is directly related to the topic being discussed. It is a specific proposal or idea that is put forward for consideration and decision. This type of motion is different from other types of motions that may be made during a meeting, such as a motion to adjourn or a motion to amend. A specific main motion is focused on the main topic at hand and is meant to move the discussion forward towards a decision or resolution.

A more thorough explanation:

A specific main motion is a type of motion that is made during a meeting or assembly to propose a specific action or decision. It is different from an incidental main motion, which is made to deal with a procedural issue that arises during the meeting.

For example, if a group is discussing whether to hold a fundraiser, a specific main motion could be made to propose a specific date, location, and type of fundraiser. This motion would need to be seconded and then voted on by the group.

Another example of a specific main motion could be a proposal to change the group's bylaws or rules. This motion would need to be properly worded and presented to the group for discussion and voting.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
