Well, this topic is not solely about the TB charity approval process or the recent charity that was approved. OP just wants to abandon the somewhat rigid Roberts Rules of Order and permit more flexibility with motions once made and seconded. Personally, I don't see the need to change the workings of the machine simply because of this latest controversy. Tossing the rule book to allow motions to be made or withdrawn with fewer stipulations might in and of itself open TB up to a whole different can of worms at a later date.
