10.01  To gain the floor, a member must rise, address the moderator, and be recognized by the moderator.
     10.02  If two or more members rise to seek the floor at the same time, the one farthest from the moderator shall be recognized.
     10.03  Until a matter has been brought before the judicatory in the form of a motion proposing a specific action, it cannot be debated.
     10.04  A member having obtained the floor for the purpose of engaging in debate can speak no longer than ten minutes without obtaining the consent of the judicatory. Such permission can be given by unanimous consent or by means of a motion to extend the limits of debate which requires a two-thirds vote and is not debatable.
     10.05  No member can speak more than twice to the same question on the same day without the consent of the judicatory. Asking or answering a question is not counted as speaking in debate.
     10.06  Debate can be closed by moving the previous question. The previous question can be applied to any pending debatable or amendable motion; to an entire series of such motions; or to any consecutive part of such a series.
     10.07  Rights in debate are not transferrable. A member may not yield a portion of time to another member or reserve it for later except by unanimous consent or by suspension of the rules.
     10.08  In debate a member's remarks must be germane to the question before the judicatory. For example, when a secondary amendment is the pending question, the member can debate only that amendment, not the primary amendment or the main motion.
     10.09  When a question is pending, that measure can be criticized in strong terms, but personalities should not be brought into the debate nor should the motives of other members be questioned or attacked. Members should always treat one another with respect.
     10.10  Members of the judicatory should not address one another directly, but should address all remarks through the moderator.
     10.11  As much as possible, the use of members' names should be avoided in debate.
