  • Title it '[MBC] content in a few words'  For example, '[MBC] Sign BAS statement'.  This ensures it gets noticed.

  • Write your motion, indented and in bold text.  
  • Request replies.  Sample text: 'Directors, please indicate your support of, objection to, or abstention from this motion on this Sheet.'

**Alternately, you have the option of putting up a draft without actually proposing it, but be very clear about that.  Don't use [MBC] in your subject line.  It can be useful if there's likely to be a lot of to and fro re-drafting it before negotiating something that gets a majority vote.  It needs, of course, to be formally proposed before it can be voted on.
