Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised (RONR)
The "call" may be made by one member, and does not require a second. The chair must then proceed to the scheduled item of business, unless the assembly decides otherwise by a two-thirds vote.
The Standard Code
This motion is not recognized under The Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure, which calls it "quaint" and "often puzzling to many in the assembly." [TSC (4th ed.) p. 232] The Standard Code instead suggests that a member simply request that the body take up the scheduled item of business, or make a more formal point of order.
