- Reports are received when they’re presented. Motions to receive reports after they’re read make no sense because the report has already been received. The only time a motion to receive a report makes sense, or is even in order, is when you want a report to be presented at some time other than when reports are in order according to your agenda.
- Adopting (or accepting) a report from officers, boards, and committees is problematic. The odds are good that you don’t want to adopt the whole report. If anything, you probably want to adopt only some of the motions or resolutions recommended in the report. The only time it really makes sense to adopt a report is when you want to endorse the entire contents of a report that was prepared for adoption as the report of the group.
