What type of committee can a motion be referred to as specified by the member?

1. Special or Emergency Committee

2. Standing or Special Committee

3. Local or National Committee

4. Advisory or Executive Committee

The correct answer is: Standing or Special Committee

The correct answer is standing or special committee because these are the types of committees that can be specifically created or designated within an organization to handle tasks or issues that arise. A standing committee is a permanent committee established to consider ongoing issues, while a special committee is formed to address specific tasks or issues for a limited duration. Members have the ability to refer motions to either type of committee based on the nature of the issue at hand. This allows for a structured approach to handling various matters within an organization. Other options do not reflect the recognized categories of committees as typically defined in organizational procedures. For instance, the term "local or national committee" does not designate how a committee operates in terms of its function, and "advisory or executive committee" does not capture the nature of a committee that directly addresses motions referred by members. Therefore, the distinction between standing and special committees is crucial for effective procedural management in a meeting or organizational context.
