When a member of the House of Representatives wants to submit a bill for consideration, they "drop it in the Hopper."
Then the House Parliamentarian, at the delegation of the Speaker of the House, refers each measure to the appropriate committee(s) of jurisdiction, and the bill proceeds through its approval process.
I am thinking that we should have a "Hopper" so that in the event that a motion may not be introduced on AISDiscuss, it may be held in abeyance until the appropriate time and then introduced to the list on behalf of the initiator. The AIS Secretary would be the "keeper of the Hopper" and the AIS President would provide the priority for introducing the motions based on their evaluation of the significance of the motion and its importance to the conduct of AIS business.
