Members of the Grand Lodge must provide written notice to the Grand Secretary for any motion or matter they wish to present at a Quarterly Communication or other meetings. This notice must detail the terms of the intended motion and the specific nature of the matter, and it must be submitted at least seven days prior to the regular meeting of the Board of General Purposes that precedes the Quarterly Communication. No motion or matter is considered without this prior notice, unless special permission is granted by the Grand Master or the presiding Officer of the Grand Lodge. This procedure ensures that all members are informed and can prepare for discussions on proposed motions, maintaining order and transparency within the Grand Lodge's operations.
