Board members do not have to stand or be recognized by the chair in order to speak or make motions.
Motions need not be seconded.
A board member may speak any number of times on a question, and motions to close or limit debate are generally not permitted.
A motion does not have to be pending in order to discuss a subject informally.
Votes can be taken initially by a show of hands.
If a proposal is perfectly clear to everyone it may be voted on even though no formal motion has been made.
In putting questions to a vote, the chairman need not stand.
The chairman can participate in debate just as any other board member. (https://harkerlepore.com/articles/roberts-rules-for-small-boards)
