No member to speak twice

The document establishes a procedural guideline regarding speaking rights during Masonic meetings. It stipulates that only the proposer of an original motion is entitled to a right of reply, ensuring that they can address points raised during the discussion. No other member may speak more than once on the same question unless granted permission, promoting efficiency and focus in deliberations. An exception is made for the Grand Registrar, who is not bound by this restriction, allowing for greater flexibility in their contributions. This rule aims to streamline discussions and maintain order, ensuring that debates remain productive and that all members have an opportunity to contribute without excessive repetition. Adhering to this guideline is essential for maintaining decorum and facilitating effective communication within Masonic assemblies.
