What is the proper way to introduce a motion using correct parliamentary procedure?

Introducing a motion using correct parliamentary procedure requires clear and precise language to ensure that the intent of the motion is understood by all members present. The phrase "I move" is the standard and accepted way to formally present a motion in meetings governed by parliamentary procedure.

This phrase indicates that the speaker is making a formal request for the assembly to take action on a specific item of business. It signals to the members that a proposal is being made for consideration and is the first step in the process of discussing and potentially voting on the motion.

Other phrases, while they may seem informal or understandable, do not adhere to the established protocol. For instance, "I second the motion" is used after a motion has already been introduced, not at the time of introduction. "I propose" lacks the specificity needed, as it does not conform to the traditional language used in parliamentary contexts. "Let it be resolved" does not effectively communicate the speaker's intention to initiate a motion either and is not a recognized term for introducing a motion.

Using "I move" simplifies the introduction and keeps the proceedings orderly, allowing for an efficient discussion around the motion.
