Melodiya (Russian: Мелодия , lit. 'Melody') is a Russian record label . It was the state-owned major record company of the Soviet Union .
51-633: Melodiya was established in 1964 as the "All-Union Gramophone Record Firm of the USSR Ministry of Culture Melodiya" in accordance with a resolution issued by the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union . It utilized numerous recording studios and manufacturing facilities throughout the USSR as well as powerful centres of distribution and promotional strategies. The best selling format at the time
102-487: A constitution . An example would be a resolution of support for a nation's troops in battle , which carries no legal weight, but is adopted for moral support . Substantive resolutions apply to essential legal principles and rules of right, analogous to substantive law , in contrast to procedural resolutions, which deal with the methods and means by which substantive items are made and administered. Motion (parliamentary procedure) In parliamentary procedure ,
153-409: A convention , discharge a committee, and postpone an event or action previously scheduled – are more difficult to pass if previous notice has not been given. Often, a majority of the entire membership or a two-thirds vote is required if previous notice has not been given. This rule is intended to protect the rights of absent members. Sometimes, when moving a motion of which notice has been given,
204-721: A motion is a formal proposal by a member of a deliberative assembly that the assembly take a particular action. These may include legislative motions, budgetary motions, supplementary budgetary motions, and petitionary motions. The possible motions in a deliberative assembly are determined by a pre-agreed volume detailing the correct parliamentary procedure, such as Robert's Rules of Order ; The Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure ; or Lord Citrine 's The ABC of Chairmanship . Motions are used in conducting business in almost all legislative bodies worldwide, and are used in meetings of many church vestries, corporate boards, and fraternal organizations. Motions can bring new business before
255-481: A Standing Order, Annulment, or Rescission. The repeal of a standing order is normally made as part of an order creating a new standard order. An annulment is used to declare proceedings to be null and void because of some form of irregularity in procedure. Renewals in the form of a rescission of a resolution made in earlier sessions is not prohibited by the practice of the House of Commons, but is seldom done. Technically it
306-484: A failed motion to reconsider cannot be reconsidered without unanimous consent. Since it is not possible to amend an amendment to an amendment, a member desiring to prevent amendments to his proposed language can do so by including it in a secondary amendment. Another parliamentary maneuver, which has been used in the United States Senate , is the so-called " nuclear option " in which a majority sidesteps
357-425: A house of a legislature , the term non-binding resolution refers to measures that do not become laws . This is used to differentiate those measures from a bill , which is also a resolution in the technical sense. The resolution is often used to express the body's approval or disapproval of something which they cannot otherwise vote on, due to the matter being handled by another jurisdiction , or being protected by
408-607: A lawmaking power. For example, the United States Congress declares war or proposes constitutional amendments by adopting a joint resolution . A house of a legislature can also use a resolution to exercise its specific powers, as the British House of Commons does to elect its Speaker or as the United States House of Representatives does to impeach an officer of the government . In
459-422: A member, instead of reading aloud the entire text, will simply say "I move the motion which stands in my name". There are different types of motions. Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised (RONR) divides motions into five classes: Classes 2, 3 and 4 are collectively referred to as " secondary motions ". The Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure treats the fifth class as a type of main motion, under
510-414: A motion should be phrased in a way to take an action or express an opinion. A motion to not do something should not be offered if the same result can happen without anything being done. Such a motion could result in confusion if the assembly does not want to not do it. The process of handling motions generally involves the following steps, depending on the motion and the rules of order in use: A motion
561-459: A previous action, Ratify, Reconsider, Rescind, and Resume Consideration. This book treats the motion to rescind and the motion to amend something previously adopted as two distinct motion forms under the "Restorative Main Motions" title. Also, the motion to discharge a committee is not used in this book because it allows a motion previously referred to committee to be withdrawn from the committee by

#1732791892886612-515: A question , division of the assembly , motions relating to nominations , motions relating to methods of voting and the polls , objection to the consideration of a question , point of order , request to be excused from a duty , suspend the rules , and the requests and inquiries ( parliamentary inquiry , request for information , request for permission to withdraw or modify a motion , request to read papers , and request for any other privilege ). Most incidental motions are undebatable. Unlike
663-412: A question again before the assembly are types of motions that are used to consider again a question that was previously disposed of. Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised groups four motions under the classification name of "Motions that bring a question again before the assembly", because by their adoption or by their introduction, they serve the function described by the name of the class: Take from
714-586: A question; that is, they bring a question back to its original status—as it was prior to the last vote on it. Generally only one motion can be considered at a time. There is a precedence, or ranking of the motions, when multiple motions are made. Each type of motion exists for a specific purpose. However, motions have been used beyond their stated purpose. Motions should not be made for dilatory or improper uses. Motions can accomplish results beyond their stated and obvious purpose. An example in Robert's Rules of Order
765-435: Is closely tied to the parliamentary concept of "session". Sessions in ordinary societies usually consist of one meeting, but legislative sessions can continue for months or years. A motion that has been rejected (voted down) in one session, cannot be easily brought up again in that session, but can be renewed in following sessions as a new motion. Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised provides exceptions to non-renewal through
816-403: Is dilatory if there cannot possibly be two reasonable opinions about the ruling. Likewise, a motion for a division of the assembly is dilatory if the results of the voice vote are already clear to any reasonable person. The repetitive use of privileged motions can also be dilatory, such as repeatedly moving to adjourn when it has been voted down and nothing indicates that the assembly wants to end
867-582: Is for members to not answer when their name is called during the quorum roll call. The problem of dilatory tactics in such bodies dates back to the beginnings of parliamentary procedure in England and the United States. Jefferson's Manual , for instance, only requires the Speaker to direct a bill to be read upon the desire of any member "if the request is really for information and not for delay." In
918-407: Is not allowed. Reasonableness is often used as a criterion in deciding whether a motion is dilatory. Some types of motions are suitable only for specific circumstances, and their use is otherwise absurd and dilatory. For instance, a motion to refer (commit) a resolution to a committee is dilatory if its object would be defeated by the delay in taking action. A motion to appeal the ruling of the chair
969-422: Is not required. Normally, this is a motion that introduces a substantive question as a new subject, in which case it is also called an original main motion . Otherwise, it is an incidental main motion , examples of which are the motions to adopt recommendations of a committee, to ratify action previously taken without a quorum, to rescind an action previously taken, or to adjourn or recess while no main motion
1020-402: Is not the necessary calm for considering the question in all its aspects." Renewal of a motion is the act of bringing up again a motion that has already been disposed of by the deliberative assembly. Generally, the assembly cannot be asked to decide the same question, or substantially the same question, as one it has already decided upon in the same session . The underlying principle behind
1071-473: Is pending. Unlike original main motions, incidental main motions cannot have an objection to the consideration of the question applied to them. A subsidiary motion is a type of motion by which a deliberative assembly deals directly with a main motion prior to (or instead of) voting on the main motion itself. Each subsidiary motion ranks higher than the main motion and lower than the privileged motions, and also yields to applicable incidental motions. Some of

Melodiya is actively working with the archive. As of 2023, more than 80% of the archive has been digitized and 2,400 digital albums have been published; since 2014, more than 100 vinyl records have been published. Thousands of artists have appeared on
1173-427: Is proposed by a member of the body, for the consideration of the body as a whole. Generally, the person making the motion, known as the mover, must first be recognized by the chairman as being entitled to speak; this is known as obtaining the floor. Once the mover has obtained the floor, the mover states the motion, normally prefixed with the phrase "I move." For instance, at a meeting , a member may say, "I move that
1224-433: Is regarded as a new question: the form being to read the previous resolution of the House and to move that it be rescinded. This power of rescission has been used sparingly and then only in the case of substantive motions. The reasons why open rescission is so rare is that the House instinctively realizes that parliamentary government requires the majority to abide by a decision regularly come to, however unexpected, and that it
1275-428: Is using the motion to postpone indefinitely in order to enable members who have exhausted their right of debate on the main question an opportunity to speak further and to test the strength of opposition to the question, since straw polls are not in order. Another example of strategic use of motions is moving to reconsider in order to "clinch" a decision on the primary motion and prevent its reconsideration later, since
1326-493: The Parliament of India there are broadly three categories of motion:- 1) Substantive Motion 2) Substitute Motion 3) Subsidiary Motion- it is further classified into ancillary motion, supersiding motion and amendment. A main motion is a motion that brings business before the assembly. Main motions are made while no other motion is pending. Any of the subsidiary, incidental and privileged motions may be made while

Such a resolution, when certified by the corporation's secretary , gives assurance to the other side of the transaction that the sale was properly authorized. Other examples include resolutions approving the opening of bank accounts or authorizing the issuance of shares in

Resolution (law) In law, a resolution is a motion , often in writing , which has been adopted by a deliberative body (such as a corporations' board and or the house of a legislature). An alternate term for a resolution is a resolve . In corporations, a written resolution is especially useful in the case of
1479-600: The US Senate, there are no formal rules against dilatory tactics except under cloture . Between 1831 and 1900, dilatory votes to adjourn composed more than 10 percent of all Senate votes, and successfully delayed recognition of Louisiana's Reconstruction government until 1868. According to Sarah Binder, in the 46th United States Congress , motions to adjourn consumed 23 percent of all floor votes. Speaker Thomas Brackett Reed famously took countermeasures against dilatory tactics, such as ruling dilatory motions out of order, and
1530-524: The USSR were often sold under the label MK , which stood for Mezhdunarodnaya Kniga ("International Book", Russian : Μеждународная Книга ). Being state owned until April 1989, the Soviet recording industry was able to apply a single numbering system to all its releases from 1933 onwards regardless of origin or place of manufacture. The number sequences for 78s and LPs are strictly chronological, from which it

1632-470: The assembly, in which case the secretary is to record it in the minutes , or notifies the secretary outside of the meeting. In either case, the secretary is to include in the call of the next meeting the motion's text, often accompanied by the name of the person who intends to move it. Certain motions – specifically, the motions to adopt or amend special rules of order, rescind, repeal or annul or amend something previously adopted, amend standing rules in
1683-414: The assembly. The motion to ratify is also included in this group. Demeter's Manual of Parliamentary Law and Procedure uses the term, "restoratory", for a group of six motions that restored or brought a question back before the assembly: Expunge, Ratify, Rescind, Reconsider, Reconsider and Enter, and Take from the table. These "restoratory" motions are quasi-main motions that restore the status quo of
1734-411: The body immediately seconds the motion. Once the chair states the motion, it becomes the property of the assembly and the mover cannot modify it or withdraw it without the assembly's consent. Previous notice is an announcement that a motion will be introduced at a future meeting of a deliberative assembly. Previous notice can be given in one of two ways. A member either announces it at a meeting of

According to Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised , the privileged motions are, in order of precedence: The Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure omits Fix the time to which to adjourn, instead providing that the motion to adjourn may be amended with regard to the time to which to adjourn. This book also omits Call for orders of

In the United States, resolution means a proposal made in writing, while motion means a proposal made verbally. Houses of a legislature often adopt non-binding resolutions . However, a legislature also uses resolutions to exercise one of its binding powers that isn't

If the motion is in writing, the mover says "I move the resolution at the desk" or "I move the following resolution" and then reads it. Generally, once the motion has been proposed, consideration by the assembly occurs only if another member of
1989-409: The main motion is pending, and in many cases these motions, if passed, will affect the assembly's consideration of the main motion. When greater formality is desired, the main motion may be made in the form of a resolution , which is always submitted in writing. A preamble containing several paragraphs explaining background information or justification for the proposed action is often included, but
2040-430: The meeting. A presiding officer has a duty to protect the assembly from the abuse of parliamentary processes for dilatory purposes. The chair can rule the motions out of order or refuse to recognize the member, but the maker of the motion should be given the benefit of the doubt. In legislative bodies, dilatory motions can take the form of demanding quorum calls and votes at every opportunity. Another dilatory tactic

2142-406: The motions to Reconsider, Rescind, or Amend Something Previously Adopted. In the British House of Commons , a motion or an amendment which is the same, in substance, as a question which has been decided during a session may not be renewed again in that same session. Such substantive motions can be renewed in succeeding sessions as new motions. Reversals of earlier decisions can be done by Repeal of
2193-413: The non-renewal of a motion dates back to at least April 2, 1607, when the House of Commons adopted a rule "That a question being once made, and carried in the affirmative or negative, cannot be questioned again, but must stand as a judgement of the House". Over the past 400 years, various rules have evolved by precedent to allow and manage renewal of motions under specific circumstances. Renewal of motions

Jeremy Bentham held that such types of dilatory motions are useful, stating, "Precipitation may arise from two causes: from ignorance, when a judgment is formed without the collection of all the information required—from passion, when there
2295-418: The privileged and subsidiary motions, incidental motions have no order of precedence among themselves. They take precedence over any pending question out of which they arise. Some incidental motions are only legitimately incidental at certain times or under certain conditions. For instance, the objection to the consideration of a question can only be raised before there has been any debate. Motions that bring
2346-569: The subsidiary motions may also be applied to certain other subsidiary motions, incidental motions and privileged motions. Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised recognizes seven subsidiary motions. Ranked lowest to highest in order of precedence, they are the motions to: The Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure differs as follows: A privileged motion is a motion that is granted precedence over ordinary business because it concerns matters of great importance or urgency. Such motions are not debatable, although in case of questions of privilege,

Except for the motion to Reconsider, these motions are main motions and can only be made when no business is pending. The Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure classifies five "bring back" motions under the classification of main motions but lists them under the title of "Restorative Main Motions": Amend
2448-637: The title "Restorative Main Motions". Mason's Manual of Legislative Procedure has a similar classification of motions. The United States Senate and House of Representatives have their own specialized motions as provided in the Standing Rules of the United States Senate and the procedures of the United States House of Representatives , respectively. Parliaments also have their own specialized motions. In

For instance, the Nova Scotia House of Assembly imposes a maximum of one motion to hoist , one motion to refer to a committee, and one reasoned amendment per reading. The Rules of the U.S. Congress as revised in 1911 declare that no dilatory motion shall be entertained by the Speaker. The term "dilatory motion" does not always refer to an ill-intentioned motion. In Canada, "dilatory" motions refer to those "designed to dispose of
