Main motion
Introduces new business. Requires a second. Debatable, amendable, majority vote.
Product / Meeting engine
Robert's Rules, enforced in software.
A motion can't pass until it's been moved, seconded, debated under your time limits, and voted. The chair gets a gavel, not a chatbot.
State machine
Six states. One legal transition at a time.
Every motion lives in exactly one state. The chair can only see the controls that are legal right now.
Motion types
The five classes, all supported.
Subsidiary
Acts on a pending main motion. Amend, refer to committee, postpone, table, limit debate.
Privileged
Urgent business not related to pending question. Recess, adjourn, raise a question of privilege.
Incidental
Procedural. Point of order, appeal, division of the assembly, parliamentary inquiry.
Renewal
Brings business back. Reconsider, rescind, take from the table.
Custom
Your bylaws override the default. Set your own thresholds and notice rules.
Quorum and roll call
Counted before a single motion moves.
The engine checks roll call against your bylaws. If quorum isn't met, the chair can't open new business. Members can join late and be counted live.
Point of order
One tap from any member.
Anyone in the meeting can raise a point of order from their phone. The chair sees it on the TV with the standing motion and rules from the chair. The decision is logged in the minutes.
Chair's controls
What the chair sees during a vote.
