    I agree. It is improper to put a motion to any sort of meeting if it was not included on the meeting notice. The exceptions are 1) procedural motions – Eg. you can propose ‘that the motion be put’ if you think debate has been going long enough, all the points of argument have been aired and it is time to be getting on, and 2) motions to amend a motion. Motions to amend should only be accepted by the chair if they are within the scope of the original motion and don’t alter its nature.
