[council] Council procedures

[Gomes, Chuck]

Good examples of the advantage of having predrafted motions without
seconds and sometimes even without a mover are motions related to the
initiation of a PDP.

Personally, I think the benefits of having predrafted motions without
movers or seconds exceed any problems that may cause.  Just my opinion.
Clearly, that should be done with care to avoid overcomplicating our
business.
