ABOUT THE PRACTICUM:
The presiding sessions divided into three levels consisting of Basic, Intermediate and Advance. If you are wondering, at the basic level, the focus is on the fundamentals, with emphasis on language, cadence, and poise.
The Basic Level practice scenarios will cover:
- Main Motion
- Single Subsidiary motions
- Amend (including the AMP method of stating amendments)
A: State the amendment
M: State the motion if the amendment is adopted
P: Refocus the assembly on the pending question
- Refer
- Postpone Definitely
- Previous Question/ Close Debate
- Recess
- Taking votes using Zoom "nonverbal feedback," unanimous consent, show
of hands, by voice, rising.
The Intermediate and Advance Levels will separate AIPSC from RONR authorities and add the precedence of motions, fluency in processing motions and that the proposed motion is in order.
In addition, the Intermediate Level builds on items already covered to include:
- Point of Order
- Appeal
- Suspend the Rule
- Reconsider
- Incidental motions
- Renewal of motions
- Secondary Amendment
- Filling blanks (AIPSC)
- Table (AIPSC)
The Advance Level practice will focus on greater fluency and presiding judgment. In addition to those things covered in the Basic and Intermediate level, specific motions may include:
- Object of the Consideration (RONR)
- "Stacked motions"
