Which motion would you use if you wanted to ask permission to open a window during a meeting?

1. Question of Privilege

2. Motion to Table

3. Point of Information

4. Motion to Amend

The correct answer is: Question of Privilege

The appropriate motion for asking permission to open a window during a meeting is a Question of Privilege. This motion is used when a member wants to address a personal comfort issue related to the meeting environment, such as temperature or noise levels. By using this type of motion, the member is effectively prioritizing the comfort and well-being of the attendees, which is essential for maintaining an effective meeting atmosphere. The other options are not suitable for this situation: a Motion to Table is used to postpone a decision on a matter, a Point of Information seeks clarification on a topic but does not request a change in conditions, and a Motion to Amend is used to make changes to a pending motion rather than addressing personal comfort needs. Therefore, a Question of Privilege is the correct choice for raising concerns about the meeting environment, such as the need to open a window.
