By my count, 12 motions were introduced. As it normal, most will get referred. Here they are.
1. Sam Fordham of Alabama moved the establishment of a new entity to promote evangelism and equipping.
Not gonna happen. We are not forming a new entity. Probably gets referred to EC and dies.
2. Wade Burleson of OK
Resurrected an old call to establish a sexual predator database. Again, not gonna happen. Referred.
3. Philip Bethancourt of TN.
Moves a task force to deal with abuse and predation issues, develop strategies, and report back to the 2019 convention
This will likely happen. Possibly a vote.

Results
All of the motions were referred to the EC (almost all) or the appropriate entity except for

This must be defeated by a 90-10 or greater majority.
