I propose we suspend debate on this private members bill and send it off to the rules and procedures committee who should report their findings to the ways and means committee to make recommendations to the chairman of the committee of the whole before it is brought back for second reading and to be put to a vote. All in favor say "Aye".
Which all is to say how much bureaucracy do we really need? I have never had a problem with a GM, perhaps because I rarely do anything that would attract their notice, rarely take offense from and generally do not raise a stink all over the game when things do not go my way. I do sometimes get a little worked up on these forums but that is a different topic.
Technically, you would have to make the
motion that we
end discussion on the current agenda item, and then yes move it forward in the process as you describe. Before it can be put by a vote though, which would be done by the speaker not by yourself, you would have to have the motion seconded.
Your post has me laughing though, I appreciate the humour.
I'll only say that Robert's rules is a way of running meetings - but it itself is not bureaucracy. Fascism, perhaps, but not bureaucracy.
