Which motion sends the Main Motion to a committee for examination and refinement, with explicit specification of the committee and its size?

• A. Commit/Refer to a Committee
• B. Postpone Indefinitely
• C. Amend
• D. Table

Answer: (A)

Sending the main motion to a committee is about delegating deeper study to a smaller group so they can examine the proposal, refine it, and report back with informed recommendations. You can specify exactly which committee and how many members it should have in the referral, for example naming a particular committee and stating a size. This ensures focused, thorough scrutiny and a formal return to the assembly with a report or revised language ready for consideration. The other options perform different functions. Delaying action indefinitely pushes the motion out of consideration for now and doesn’t create a committee. Amending changes the wording of the main motion rather than sending the matter to a committee for study. Tabling sets the motion aside for now, also without appointing a committee.
