Request to read papers

Request to read papers

The motion to request to read papers is used to allow a member of a deliberative assembly to read from a paper, book, manuscript, newspaper, or other document as part of his speech.

Explanation and Use

infobox motion
name = Grant permission to read papers (RONR)
class = I
inorder = If not granted by unanimous consent, can be moved by person requesting permission or by another while the former has the floor
seconded = Yes, if motion is made by person requesting permission; no, if made by another member
debatable = No
amendable = No
voterequired = Majority
reconsidered = Yes Normally, this motion is handled as a matter of unanimous consent. [cite parl|title=RONR|edition=10th|pages=286] The reason for requiring this motion to be made is to prevent such readings from being done as a dilatory tactic. Under Demeter's Manual, by default, a member can read from such documents, but must stop if an objection is made, seconded, and adopted by majority vote. Referring to one's notes does not constitute reading, and the reading of written or printed reports of officers or committees from paper, yearbook, etc. is not subject to such objection. [cite parl|title=DEM|pages=143] "Mason's Manual of Legislative Procedure" states: [cite parl|title=MAS|edition=2000|year=2000|pages=90-91]
