[1] The process of compositing motions may be desirable for two reasons.
First, it can save the time of an assembly by avoiding presenting two or more similar motions.
The major disadvantages of compositing are also twofold.
Some provisions may have to be omitted from the composite motions - to reduce its length or because the supporters of the original motions will not agree to them.
The procedure of submitting motions to some conferences includes one or more rounds of compulsory compositing; in other cases, the compositing may be informal.
