move/ owing to

Dear teachers,

Would you tell me whether I am right about my interpretation of the expressions in bold in the following sentences?

I move that the question be put to the vote.

I move (that) nominations (should) be closed.

I move that the discussion should be stopped owing to the late hour.

move = propose, put forward, make a motion

owing = because of

Thanks for your efforts.

Regards,

V
