Amendments to the resolutions can be sent in by the same parties who can send in resolutions, when the preliminary agenda is returned. No resolutions can be proposed except purely verbal ones during the actual meeting of Council. 15. Amendments must be relevant to the subject matter of the original motion. 16. If *a two-thirds majority of the International Executive deem any resolution or amendment sent up by the National Councils unsuitable or inadvisable for presentation to the Council, it shall not be placed on the agenda. 17. All invitations from National Councils to the Inter- national Council to hold the Quinquennial Meeting in their respective countries shall be received by the Corresponding Secretary three months previous to the Quinquennial Meeting preceding that for which the invitation is extended, in order that the Executive Committee may consider the matter and decide upon a recommendation which shall be laid before the Council and voted upon. II. Duties of Officers. 18. The President, or, in her absence, the elected Vice- President, shall preside at all meetings of the International Council and its txecutive. She shall take a general super- vision of all its work, and keep in touch with the work of the National Councils throughout the world, and shall do all in her power to promote the formation of new National Councils. 19. The elected Vice-President of the International Coun- cil shall act in the absence of the President, or the Executive shall appoint an acting President. 20. The National Vice-President, in the absence of the President, or of the elected Vice-President, of the International Council, shall preside at any Special Meetings of the Council held in her country, and shall promote the work of the Council so far as possible. 136 21. The Corresponding Secretary shall conduct all corre- spondence of the Council, shall present a report at the Quinquennial Meeting, shall keep a complete roll of all Federated National Councils, and shall prepare an agenda of business for all meetings of the Council and its Executive. 22. The Recording Secretary shall keep careful minutes of the proceedings of meetings of the Council and of the Executive Committee of the same. 23. The Treasurer shall receive all fees from Federated National Councils, and all subscriptions and donations from patrons and others. She shall pay all accounts after they are duly initialled by the President, and shall have her books audited by an Auditor appointed by the Council, before presenting her Quinquennial Report. All subscriptions and fees shall be acknowledged by official receipt, signed by the Treasurer. 24. Officers may record their votes by proxy at the meetings of Council, if unable to be present, and if they have given full instructions to the person representing them as to the votes to be given. III. Election of Officers. 23. Nomination papers for the officers of the International Council shall be sent out by the Executive to each National Council, twelve months before the Quinquennial Meeting, and shall be returned by them to the Corresponding Secretary by a date which she will indicate, filled in, in accordance with the instructions of each National Council, given through a Public Meeting of the same or through its Executive, if especially empowered in this regard. All nominations must be made with the consent of those nominated. Note. — Nominations for the officers of the International Council are made by National Councils, and by the Executive Committee of the International Council, but not by individual members of the same. 26. The Executive Committee shall appoint a Nominating Committee composed of one representative from each country, who will hold a meeting during the Quinquennial Meeting, examine the nominations made, and make a recommendation to the Council as to which candidates for office will best be able to serve the interests of the Council. 27. The election of officers shall be by ballot, by ayes or noes, or by show of hands, as the Executive may appoint. 28. If the election is to be by ballot, the ballot papers will be supplied to each member of the Council at a polling booth within the precincts of the hall, and under the charge of the returning officers. The voters shall be required to mark their papers, when they receive them, inside the polling booth, and to deposit them at once in one of the sealed ballot boxes that shall be provided for that purpose. No member of the Council shall receive a second ballot paper, except from the returning officers in exchange for the one previously given. 29. In the case of the resignation or death of an officer during her term of office, a successor shall be elected by the Executive to serve during the remainder of such term. IV. Rules of Order. 30. Every person when speaking shall stand and shall ad- dress the Chair. , 31. Motions to be placed on the agenda shall be submitted by any National Council or by the Executive Committee, but no resolution shall be sent in by any individual. 32. Every motion shall be proposed, or, in other words, read by the presiding officer before it is open to debate or amendment. Only two amendments shall hs proposed at one time to a motion or question. In other words, there shall be only three questions at one time before the Council ; the main motion, an amendment, and an amendment thereto. But when an amendment to the amendment is disposed of, another amendment can be proposed, provided it is not one similar to that already voted on. But a motion for the adjournment o Council or of the debate is always in order under such circum- stances. 33. Motions and amendments shall be voted on in the reverse order to that in which they are submitted, tlje last amendment being thus voted on first. 34. All special motions shall be in writing, and shall be seconded before being put from the Chair, but motions for ad- journment of Council or of debate, or for the previous question or mere routine business, need not be written. 35. A motion that is not seconded may not be proposed from the Chair, and no entrj' thereof shall be made in the minutes. 36. A motion or an amendment may be withdrawn with the consent of the whole Council present, or, in other words, without a negative voice. 37. No question or motion can be regularly offered if it is substantially the same as one on which the judgment of the Council has already been expressed during that meeting of the Council. 38. Any member may require the question under discue- K 138 sion to be read at any time of the debate, but not so as to inter- rupt a speaker. 39. A motion to adjourn is always in order, and shall be voted on without debate, when ihere is a question under con- sideration ; when there is no such question under discussion, and the motion for adjournment is a substantive or main motion, a debate thereon is permissable, but it must be confined to the question of adjournment. A motion to adjourn cannot be amended, and must be simply : — " That the Council be now adjourned," or " That the debate be now adjourned,". A motion " That the Council do adjourn to a particular day or hour," or " That a debate be adjourned to a particular day or hour," is always amendable with respect to day or hour. 40 The President may at any time take the opinion of the Council as to the length of time to be allowed for the discussion of any motion, and shall then, at her own discretion, limit the time for each speaker. 41. The President of the Council may, at the close of any speech, propose without debate, " That the question be now put ;" and if the motion be seconded and carried by a majority, the original resolution, or the resolution as amended, shaU be at once put without debate. 42. When a debate on a question is concluded, the Pre- siding Officer shall proceed to put the question. If the question has not been heard she shall read it again to the meeting. Having read the question on which the decision of the meeting is to be first given, she shall take the sense of the members by saying : " Those who are in favour of the question or amend- ment shall say aye." " Those who are of the contrary opinion shall say no." When the supporters or opponents of the question have given their voices for and against the same, the Presiding Officer shall say, " I think the ayes have it," or " I think the noes have it," or " T cannot decide." Any member of the Council feeling a doubt as to the correctness of the de- cision may call for a division. 43. The Secretary or Recording Officer shall make no entry of a motion or proposed resolution except it is stated from the Chair. 44. The Presiding Officer shall decide all questions of order, subject to an appeal to the Council, and in explaining a point of order or procedure, she shall state the rule or authority applicable to the case. 45. No member shall speak twice to a motion or question, except in explanation of a material part of her speech in which she may have been misconceived, but then she shall not intro- 139 duce new matter. A member who has spoken to a motion may speak again when a new question or an amendment is proposed to the motion. A reply shall be allowed only to the mover of a mam or substantive motion. 46. When two or more members rise to speak, the Pre- siding Officer shall call upon the member who, in her opinion, first rose in her place ; and should more than one member rise at nnce, the Presiding Officer shall determine who is entitled to the floor. 47. No member shall speak to any question after the same has been fully put by the Presiding Officer. 48. On the general business of the Council, the sense of the delegates shall be taken in the usual Parliamentary method of asking for ayes and noes ; in cases where a division is called for, when the motion has been placed on the paper and instructions have been given to the delegates how to vote, the vote shall be taken by calling over the roll of affiliated bodies, when the vote of each such body shall be given by the delegate or delegates present. 49. The President, or person occupying the chair, shall have a casting vote when there is a tie, but shall not otherwise vote as a member of the Couucil. 50. In the event of the full number of delegates from any National Council not being able to attend, the full number of votes to which each such body is entitled shall be given by such delegate or delegates as are present. 51. The proceedings of the Council shall be open to reporters, and an official report of the proceedings shall be made by the authority of the Executive Committee, and for- warded to the Secretary of each federated National Council. 52. The Executive shall be authorised to appoint its officers as a Sub-Executive to conduct routine business, and in the case of emergency, the President shall be authorised to decide matters of urgency on behalf of the Council. 140 Aeaorandua. 141 AVeaorandua.
