Guest Debbie Posted March 8, 2017 at 09:53 PM Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 at 09:53 PM Can you associated a date with a motion to table? (i.e. Moved to Table until the next meeting.) If you can associate a date with a motion to table, what is the difference between a Motion to Postpone to a Date Certain and a Motion to Table to the Next Meeting? Thank you.

There is no such motion "to table to the next meeting". However, it is quite proper and quite common to "postpone until the next meeting". That is called postponing to a time (or date) certain. It is the correct way to postpone something to the next meeting. As the FAQ's cited by the guest above state, the motion "to lay on the table" is properly used only to set something aside temporarily, usually for only a few minutes, while something more pressing is dealt with.
