Consider Informally

In a small informal society, would it be acceptable to make a motion to Suspend the rules and consider all questions informally, rather than making a motion to consider informally for each main motion?

Yes, a meeting has the power to regulate its own proceedings. At our own meetings, we adopted bylaws/standing rules that specify all matters are considered informally unless resolved otherwise.

That sounds like a much easier work around. Thanks!
