The minutes are a record of the proceedings of the meeting. A motion needs to be moved to accept the minutes and then seconded to be accepted as a true record of the meeting. The minutes do not need to be read but each member can have a copy. Unless someone objects then the minutes are accepted as a true and proper record of the last meeting. A motion to precede the acceptance motion can be put if a ,member believes the minutes do not reflect a true and proper record.

Does a election vote by acclamation require the motion to be seconded?
No, a vote by acclamation does not require a motion to be seconded. In a vote by acclamation, the chairperson simply asks if anyone objects to a particular candidate or proposal, and if no objections are raised, the vote is considered unanimous and no formal motion or second is needed.
Is seconded a word?
Yes. Most commonly this word arises in describing a formal meeting where a motion has been made. For a motion to be formally considered, another individual must express support for its consideration. This is done by saying, "I second that motion." Once that stage has occurred, the motion is described as seconded. For example, "Ms. Wilson has seconded the motion to adjourn which must be voted on immediately in accordance with Robert's Rules of Order." The word less commonly is encountered when discussing the ranking of things. If an item is put in second place, it may be said to have been "seconded." In that case it can also be an adjective, "The seconded item was taken off of the winner's pedestal." There are other variations of usage, but most are related to these two examples.
How do you vote out a stockholder and what should the meeting minutes say?
If you have a shareholder agreement that allow a shareholder to be voted out, you should follow what the agreement says. Call a meeting, have a quorum present, vote. The minutes should reflect that all of that took place, that the meeting was called, a quorum was present, a motion was made, it was seconded, there was discussion (or not), there was a vote, and the motion carried (or not).
How do you carry a motion?
To carry a motion means to win majority support for it during a formal meeting or assembly. This typically involves proposing the motion, having it seconded by another member, debating the motion, and then voting on it. If the motion receives more "ayes" than "nays," it is considered carried.
Can anyone make a motion according to Roberts rules?

How do you vote for approval the minutes?

What is a hostile amendment?
A hostile amendment is an amendment to a motion that changes or defeats the purpose or direction of the motion. For example: A motion that is moved and seconded reads, "we condemn the President's actions on July 4th." A hostile amendment would be to strike condemn and replace with endorse. The amendment for all intents and purposes defeats the motion.

What do you say to motion at a meeting?
First you need to have standing (permission) to rise and speak, let alone make a motion at a meeting. For example, at a public meeting of a planning commission, only the commissioners can make a motion, although the chairperson of the meeting may (at his or her discretion) recognize a member of the public provide input on an issue prior to taking a vote. A recognized member (or alternate voting delegate) may make a motion, at the proper time, by simply saying, "I would like to make the following motion", and then continuing with his or her idea. Many times it is less formal, such as "I move that we accept the minutes as read", or "I make a motion that we suspend the rules and waive the reading of the treasurer's report." The chairperson may immediately rule you "out of order" for a number of reasons, and ask you to sit down and be quiet. At the proper time, you may again attempt to make a motion. After that, there is typically a "second" to the motion, or (if no second) a very uncomfortable pause while the motion fails to even elicit support of one other member (it is very embarrassing when this happens, and sometimes results in immediate resignation by the member whose motion was not seconded). Once the motion has been seconded, the chairperson can ask for any discussion, which may include a motion to amend the primary motion, or a motion to withdraw (or suspend action upon) the primary motion, among other things. Eventually, any motion not tabled or withdrawn must be voted upon, or the meeting suspended (adjourned) until further information can be obtained by those who wish to continue discussing it before voting...
