We Interrupt This Blog For a Brief Announcement

Breaking:  A Request for Information and Parliamentary Inquiry are now allowed as interrupting motions during the 2020 National Council Session!  In case you missed the background story, go here!  For the new set of Standing Rules, download them here:  GSUSA-55th-NCS-Standing-Rules_Revised

I’m all about the questions.  It’s a running joke that I always come with my plethora of questions to meetings.  Once a certain someone who travels around to different councils was grilling me as to why I asked so many questions.  What was my motivation, she asked?  Our Service Unit Manager was with me and said, “Amy is just one of those people who likes to know things for the sake of knowing.”  The certain someone rolled her eyes as she often seemed to do with me for the short time she was with us.  But back to the original topic.  THANK YOU for listening.  That’s one less amendment we’ll have to sit through.  In fact, it looks like there’s no limit to any interrupting motions from what I can tell. 

Someone else will have to take up the 45 minute discussion limit per proposal possible sticking point as noted in the Standing Rules.  Y’all have read the Standing Rules by now, right?  Just remember that it might be a risk to wait to make a motion to Extend Debate in the thick of things just in case you get in a queue and don’t get up to the front in time.  Just sayin’.

Have you been to a GirlScoutGovernance.com Town Hall yet?  No?  Well you should!  We’re talking about Proposals 2 through 4 along with possible amendments!  We hosted our first one the other night, and it was a great experience.  Are you a National Delegate and want to get a kinda sorta dress rehearsal if you’re planning on going to the mic/queue?  Come on!  You’ll also get to hear a bunch of different viewpoints from staff, board members, National Delegates, volunteers, (older girls?) and unfortunately, you might have to hear me ramble.  I apologize in advance.  Luckily, there’s a two minute limit per speaker, so there’s that.  There are two more left, so sign up now!
