You can then open the floor for discussion by saying "The motion has been seconded and is now open for discussion."
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.
Yes, any member of a group that is following Robert's Rules of Order can make a motion during a meeting. The motion should be stated clearly and then be seconded by another member before it can be discussed and voted on by the group.
Motions have to be seconded to ensure that more than one person is interested in discussing or voting on the proposed action. It helps avoid wasting time on topics that only one person is invested in and promotes broader participation in the decision-making process.
When something changes position, we say it is in motion.
Circular motion can be considered a type of periodic motion, where an object moves in a circular path with a constant speed. Harmonic motion, on the other hand, is a specific type of periodic motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement from equilibrium. While circular motion is periodic, it does not necessarily exhibit the characteristics of harmonic motion.
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.

Speaking from the third-person's point of view, it is: 'You seconded that?". But if YOU want to second that, you would say, "I second that.".
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.
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.
If no board members speak up after the motion is seconded and the chair asks for the vote, it is typically considered a failed motion due to lack of support or consensus. The lack of response indicates that there is not clear approval for the motion to pass.

There 3 syllables in the word seconded. Se-con-ded.
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).
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.
