Prohibition to speak
In a meeting, sometimes there are people who talk too much or are deviating from the actual topic and thus disturb the meeting considerably. If they don’t comply with the exhortation to be brief or to come to an end, they may be interrupted by the chairperson. To be able to continue with the ordinary meeting, they may also be forbidden to speak. A more lenient measure is the speaking time restriction. Both measures can also be demanded from among the members present with a procedural motion.
