I think it is to look for an acknowledgement from me or the clerk. That has been the practice.
As a practice—you can agree or disagree with this—I try not to rush things through in a manner that catches anyone off guard. I do wait a few seconds before calling the vote, just in case there is someone who wants to speak. I do that deliberately, on purpose, because I try to read the room in terms of where members are at, but I can also count heads. It is my duty as well to try to conduct this business so that it moves on, in this manner.
It is also one of my hard rules that once I call a vote, I don't retroactively reverse that, because of the precedent that would create. Of course, members are free to overrule me any time should they feel that I'm acting in a manner that is not fair and just to all.
On that, with your permission, I will adjourn, and we'll see you back on Wednesday.
The meeting is adjourned.
