What does a point of information allow a member to do?

A point of information serves a specific purpose during a meeting or discussion. It allows a member to seek clarification or additional details that are pertinent to the matter currently being discussed. This can be particularly important in ensuring that all members have a clear understanding of the topic at hand and can contribute meaningfully to the discussion.

When a member raises a point of information, they are not introducing new topics, proposing changes, or suspending any rules; rather, they are focusing on gathering necessary information that will assist in making an informed decision regarding the current issue. This process enhances the efficiency and clarity of meetings, fostering informed contributions from all members.
