But I don't know how the idea came about within the subcommittee. Was it seen as a motion, or simply an idea? An initiative cannot be undertaken directly without prior approval of the full committee.
Normally, when the subcommittee holds a meeting and prepares a report, motions or key information are presented to members of the committee, who then have an opportunity to adopt or reject the report. As I said, I don't have a problem with the motion, but I would like to ensure that the required process is followed and that the subcommittee is not making decisions without the full committee being aware of them.
