Then come up with a rule that would allow the author of the proposal to withdraw the motion after the voting starts, once the problem with the motion is identifed. Seems much easier to withdraw the motion if there's some minor issue with it, and then come back and introduce a new motion with the corrected language fixing whatever was wrong.

Agree. Why not just allow the TB member that introduced the motion to take it off the table and come back with a new motion with corrections? Wouldn't that work?
