Can you postpone a vote until after an event that might not happen?
Here is what I wanted to do:
(1) I thought that a policy had been adopted without the vote required by our handbook.
(2) A motion was made to vote on something else.
(3) I wanted to say: "Look, we should hold off on voting on this motion until after we have a proper vote on the policy was improperly adopted."
(4) So I moved to postpone the vote until after a proper vote had been taken on the improperly adopted policy.
(5) I was told that, since there was no vote on the original policy scheduled, I couldn't make this motion. Instead, I would have to move to postpone indefinitely and that I would need a 2/3 vote to do so. I was told that you could only postpone something until after an event in a case where that event was on the agenda for the meeting.
