Gesture & etiquette
Stand at chair position. Make brief eye contact around room to confirm 'no more comments'. Speak with measured authority. After voting, announce: 「賛成多数により、可決とさせていただきます」 (approved by majority). Strike gavel softly if used.
Chair's transition from discussion to vote. 「ご議論も尽きたかと存じます」 (discussion seems exhausted) signals fairness in giving everyone time to speak. State voting method clearly: 「賛成の方は挙手をお願いします」 (those in favor please raise hands) or 「投票用紙にご記入ください」 (please mark ballots). Count and announce results immediately.
