What type of motions do 'Raise a Question of Privilege' and 'Postpone Indefinitely' belong to?

'Raise a Question of Privilege' and 'Postpone Indefinitely' are classified as subsidiary motions. These types of motions are designed to assist the assembly in dealing with the main motion that is currently on the floor.

Subsidiary motions are primarily used to modify, delay, or dispose of a main motion without necessarily affecting the main motion's overall intent. For instance, 'Postpone Indefinitely' allows members to avoid a decision on the main motion rather than directly amending or rejecting it. On the other hand, 'Raise a Question of Privilege' provides a way for a member to address immediate needs that may impact the comfort or safety of the assembly or its members, ensuring the meeting is conducive for discussion.

Understanding that these motions serve specific purposes within the parliamentary procedure highlights their role in managing discussions and decisions effectively. This classification reflects how these motions relate to the handling of the group's decisions on the main issues being considered.
