It should be easy to fix any minor typos which do not affect the meaning of the motion. However, IMO it's far better to have at least the person who drafted the motion proofread with care before the motion is moved and again by at least another person (the seconder) before it's seconded. I'm also concerned that some TB President could overstep his/her "powers" and declare something to be a minor typo when others don't necessarily share that view. It's also important that TB members who care be able to see exactly the motion that is being voted. IMO proceeding with the assumption that someone (the TB President or CD for example) will fix up the motion later is just wrong.
