Since we're already working here with motions and so forth, I'd like to move a motion about motions deemed abandoned, and then also make sure we always get to move through all motions so that everyone gets to deal with them. Here's the motion I'm proposing on the motions deemed abandoned:
All motions shall be moved by their sponsor within two meetings of their first being listed on the agenda as committee business, failing which the motion shall be deemed abandoned by the mover and shall be dispensed with and may no longer be subject to committee consideration.
Essentially, the idea behind the motion is that if we're going to move a motion, we should deal with the motion.
I have a French version of it too, but I'm pretty sure that translation took care of that fairly well.
So that's the motion I'm moving.
