If the motion is in order, the chairman asks: “Will anyone second this motion?” and gives the floor to the first member indicating a wish to do so. This member says simply: “I second the motion.” If no one is willing to second the motion, the chairman declares that “the motion is dropped for want of a second” and proceeds with the next order of business. If the motion is seconded, it enters the discussion stage.","brand":"A. J.
