When calling for the Previous Question, how should members proceed?

When calling for the Previous Question, members must first obtain the floor, which means they should be recognized by the chair before they can formally make the motion. This procedure ensures that all members have the opportunity to contribute to the discussion and that the meeting follows a structured order. By saying "I move the previous question" after obtaining the floor, a member clearly indicates their intent to end the debate on the current topic and move towards a vote. This process adheres to parliamentary procedure, which is designed to maintain fairness and order during meetings, allowing the group to focus on decision-making without unnecessary interruptions.
