Appendix: Amendments and Late Motions to Congress
Please read The First Report of the Congress Business Committee, which sets out motions received.
Amendments
Amendments for Congress and the HE Sector Conference may be proposed by any member and must be no more than 75 words, not including instructional text (“add before”, etc). The First Report includes instructions.
Note that amendments must not substantively change the meaning of a motion – if you wish to propose a different motion, you can propose a late motion.
Late Motions
Late motions of no more than 150 words may also be accepted (see the First Report) but note the criteria: the motion must be urgent or timely and requires a decision of Congress or Sector Conference, it could not have been submitted within the prescribed time limit, and it is decided on by a quorate branch meeting.
