In a chapter meeting, if you want to change the wording of a motion that is being discussed, what do you have to do?

To change the wording of a motion that is currently being discussed, it is necessary to make a motion to amend the main motion. This process allows members of the meeting to propose specific changes to the wording or content of the original motion. By making an amendment, you can clarify, improve, or modify the original proposal before it is voted on.

When you make a motion to amend, it must be seconded and then discussed before being voted on. This ensures that all members have the opportunity to consider the proposed changes and voice any concerns or support. Once the amendment is decided, the revised motion, along with any further amendments, will be considered for a vote.

The other options do not pertain directly to changing the wording of the motion. For example, seconding a motion is simply indicating support for it but does not involve changing it. Tabling a motion puts it aside temporarily without discussion. Withdrawing a motion is the act of pulling it from consideration entirely rather than modifying it. Thus, making a motion to amend is the appropriate and effective way to alter the wording of a motion during a meeting.
