2. Where a Counter Proposal or an Amendment to a Proposal has been received it will be taken 1st for the vote, if it is passed then the Original Proposal falls. If the Counter Proposal or the Amendment falls then the Original Proposal is taken. If all proposals fail then the status quo is maintained.
Each proposal is considered separately until a motion is passed so it is important that members recognise the process of the vote and that Counter Proposals, Amendments to a proposal and then the original proposal is the order in which an amendment will be considered until one is voted and passed. Members can support both the Counter Proposal and/or Amended Proposal as well as the original proposal if they wish for the the proposal in principle to be passed. If you wish to discuss for greater clarity please contact Astie Cameron or Derek Keir.
