PC-5 POINTS OF PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY
When the floor is open, a delegate may rise to a Point of Parliamentary Inquiry to ask a question of the Chair regarding parliamentary procedure. A Point of Parliamentary Inquiry may never interrupt a speaker.
PC-6 PROPOSALS
Proposals shall be submitted in writing, preferably typed, to the Chair, who shall put it in a reserved post. No proposal shall be voted upon unless for the sake of time or other determination by the Chair it is deemed unnecessary. A proposal must be posted and visible to all members of the Committee for a vote to take place and the Head of the Chanology Parliament must approve by vote to consider the proposal without distributed copies. A proposal must contain the name(s) of the original sponsor(s) and will be given an identifying number designation by the Chair. There is no set number of sponsors at for a proposal. Other members may add their names to a list of signatories at any time during debate on the topic. A signatory merely indicates an interest in discussing the proposal, not necessarily support of the proposal. A proposal must have the signatures of one-fifth of the membership of the body (but not less than five members) to be officially recognized.
PC-7 INTRODUCING PROPOSALS

If the proposal passes it will be put in bold and in dark green, if the proposal fails it will be slanted and scratched out in red.
PC-9 DEBATE
The typical debate takes the following form:
1. A Member introduces a subject (known as moving a motion); eg, 'I beg to move, That the Proposal be now read a Second time'.
2. The Speaker in the Parliament proposes a question, which repeats the terms of the motion; eg, 'The Question is, That the Proposal be now read a second time'.
3.The motion is debated.
4.The original question is repeated and the Parliament comes to a decision - if necessary by means of a vote (division).
Members take turns to speak on the subject concerned and the discussion is strictly controlled by a set of rules called the 'Rules and Regulations of The Chanology Parliament.'.
