seconder
One backing motions
A seconder is someone who formally supports a motion or proposal after it has been introduced by another person.
In parliamentary procedure and committee meetings, a motion typically requires a seconder before it can be discussed or voted on: The motion died for lack of a seconder.
The seconder indicates that at least two people think the matter worth considering.
