Self: “We have been talking for a while, I’m ready to vote.”
• “Mister Director, I am sick and tired of listening to everyone. Let’s be done.”

original motion is taken.

Other Parliamentary Procedure Methods
Points
• Point of Order– Disrupting parliamentary procedure
• Point of Information– Question to clarify something or add a fact,
not stating an opinion. • Point of Personal Privilege
– Have a concern not related to the conversation at hand.
Yield vs. Proxy
• Proxy– Give them vote, so they now have the
decision and take your place. • Yield
– When recognized, you may pass your speaking rights on to another:
• NCC, Pres, NRHH, adviser, ect..
