When is the only time a Main Motion can be made?

The correct answer indicates that a Main Motion can only be made while no other motion is pending. This principle stems from Robert's Rules of Order, which govern the conduct of meetings in many parliamentary systems, including FFA chapter meetings. A Main Motion is essentially a formal proposal that the chapter considers for action or discussion.

For a new Main Motion to be introduced, the meeting must be free of other motions that are currently under consideration. This ensures that discussions and decisions are clear and organized, preventing confusion about what issues are being addressed at any given time. If a motion is already pending, introducing a new Main Motion could complicate the process and create ambiguity regarding which motion should be given priority.

The other scenarios presented do not correctly describe when a Main Motion can be made. Complete agreement among all members, for instance, is not a requirement for making a motion, as discussions and votes can occur even with dissent. Similarly, while starting a meeting or calling for the previous question are times when motions may be relevant, these do not encompass the specific guideline that a Main Motion must only be made in the absence of other pending motions.
