Questions & discussion. Following each specific presentation (that is not interrupted by questions) up to a ten minute period of discussion begins on this agenda point (which allows for questioning, input, motions from the floor, etc.).  Note that all members wishing to speak about the motion receive the opportunity to speak before any one member speaks for a second time.

If discussion/questions ends before the ten minute period, then we move to the next agenda item.  If after ten minutes discussion continues, an automatic return to Robert's Rules of Order (specifically "Motion to Limit or Extend debate") will occur.  At this point all delegates vote whether to continue the discussion. 

If the majority votes YES, the discussion continues for up to five minutes (when again the automatic vote is triggered)

If a majority votes NO, there are now several options:
1) "Call to Question:" to form or restate a motion to bring the matter to a vote or
2) "Refer to Committee:"  the matter is now referred to a specific committee that is formed or an existing focus (advisory) group.
2) "Lay on the Table:" General discussion of the item is tabled.  Those still interested in the matter can follow up and it's possible to "take from the table" and reopen the matter at a latter time.
