If a member specifies a special committee when referring a motion, what can they also indicate?

When a member specifies a special committee in relation to a motion, they can indicate the number of members and any special instructions they wish to provide. Specifying these details helps ensure that the committee is formed with the appropriate size and equipped with clear directives for its purpose.

By indicating the number of members, the individual can influence how the committee functions and ensure it has sufficient representation or expertise. Additionally, providing special instructions can guide the committee’s focus in executing its responsibilities, which is essential for achieving the desired outcomes of the motion.

The other options, while potentially relevant in different contexts, do not directly derive from specifying a special committee in the same way that defining membership and instructions does. For instance, setting a specific time for the committee's first meeting or designating a location might be important, but these details typically fall under separate discussions or procedural processes rather than being inherent to the definition of a special committee itself.
