Are there other procedural by-laws Council can vote to suspend?

The Procedural Bye Laws themselves envisage that a procedural motion may be put to suspend the Procedural Bye Laws (see 8.10.16). A procedural motion is intended to regulate the procedure and conduct of a meeting. It is not concerned with the content of the business being discussed and may be proposed without notice (see 8.7).

The unresolved issue - obvious really - introduction of a quick play finish option.

The equivalent to a quick play finish in Council terms is the 3 minute timer, which was applied at the 2002 BCF AGM, to restrict the length of time for which an individual was allowed to speak on a given item of business.

No, that's not a quickplay finish, that's a Bronstein time control.
