Thanks for that. I'm still a bit unclear. If a motion for a by-law said: “This OC resolves to ban all pets.” and someone proposed an amendment that said “with the exception of pets already in residence”, would that stand or fall under the rules as you see them.
By the way, at our last agm, amendments to motions had to be on the agenda issued for the meeting. We weren't allowed to rock up and propose an amendment without prior notice (which seems fair, given proxies and the need to consider issues properly).
