I move to amend this to replace the language "They shall be empowered to, alongside the social media committee, post statements across our social media accounts, as well as submitting articles and communications to the APRC" with "Thall be a working group that offers the communications director suggestions for social media posts."  This committee is unnecessary and can potentially be disruptive.

Mr. Watkins,

I believe your "motion to amend" would be a substatution and not an amendment as it seeks to change the intent of the main motion, ie create an empowered committee.

I will co-sponsor the amendment or substitution.

Not having group input on the names is one thing; sidestepping communications is yet another.

I would ask the Chair to rule on if a motion to amend (in any form) an email ballot main motion already in process of being voted on can be taken up and if so does it require co-sponsors to move said amendment?

Just a note: it doesn't have 5 cosponsors.

You are correct: the main motion has four cosponsors. The astute reader may note that four is more than the required three.
