Before we get into a big debate on this, as chair I think it changes the intent of the original motion. I know it speaks to the same basic premise, but it also goes much further and asks for a set of actions that are different from those of the original motion. So I'm saying I can't accept it as an amendment. Certainly the chair can be ruled out of order. The chair can definitely be challenged on this. But I think it's a separate motion, which of course we could deal with as well.
