\nsubsidiary motions, which shall have precedence in the order in which they are listed.
\n(i.e: a) has precedence over all other subsidiary motions and f) has precedence over no

\nsubstantive motion together with all pending subsidiary motions, until such time
\nas the body adopts a motion to resume consideration of the matter.

\nsubsidiary motion, if one is pending, otherwise the main substantive motion).
\n(i) This motion must be seconded by a member other than the member
\nmaking the motion.
\n(ii) This motion is not debatable or amendable. Once seconded, the body
\nmust vote on the motion.

\nmaking the motion.
\n(ii) This motion is debatable only on the question of postponement. Once

\nmaking the motion.

\nb, c, d, e and f).
\n8. After pending subsidiary motions, if any, are disposed of, the main substantive motion
\nshall be voted upon. A majority vote shall be required for adoption.
\n9. A motion to reconsider a matter already voted upon may be made at any time during the
\nmeeting at which the matter was originally voted upon. This motion, if adopted, sets
