What should a member do immediately after making a motion?

After a member makes a motion, the appropriate action is to resume their seat. This allows the floor to be open for discussion and enables others to give their input on the motion. By sitting down, the member signals that they have completed their initial presentation of the motion and are permitting other members to engage in the debate or to second the motion if they agree with it.

This practice aligns with the principles of parliamentary procedure, which focuses on orderly discussion and ensuring that all members have the opportunity to participate actively in the deliberation process. Remaining standing or continuing to speak could disrupt the flow of the meeting and hinder others from contributing.
