Using the Plenary meeting activity

 

In a well-ordered assembly someone is required to keep order, usually referred to as the chair or president. The ability to control the meeting in the Plenary meeting activity is given by assigning a capability to a role and assigning that role to this perspective chairman. Normal members of the assembly will not be able to do anything until the chair or president appears and formally opens the meeting.

To open the meeting the chair views activity and presses the open button in the potential motions section. The chair then confirms the action in the dialogue that appears. Other users will then see buttons to make motions in the potential motion section. Users may then offer motions, and they will appear in a list which they can see. The chair then selects one of the motions offered by clicking the allow button.
