No it doesn't. In your flow chart an insufficient proposal gets moved to 
table. if this motion is not seconded, the proposal shall be voted upon 
without prior discusion inspite of its incompleteness or other flaws. 
The point is that there is no necessity for this motion at all. If a proposal 
is found out to be insufficient it gets tabled period. And if the proponent 
decides to work on it and enhances it and makes it fit for another submittal, 
the same decision process will be applied. Otherwise it remains collecting 
dust until finally someone decides to drop it.
I think you're mixing formal decisions with those regarding individual 
contents. Or was it I who got you wrong?
