Postpone Indefinitely

[Rev Ed]

After reading the recent thread about reconsidering motions, I have the following question:

Does a motion to postpone indefinitely kill a motion for all time?

For example, let's say that I move a motion to the effect of "That the clubhouse and outddor property be a smoke free environment." Let's assume the motion is seconded. If someone moves that it be postponed indefinitely, and that is passed can the motion, or a similar one is brought up again at any point? By a similar motion, let's assume that it is a motion to include only the inside of the clubhouse but not the exterior property.

Postpone Indefinately kills a motion for the duration of the current session, but it can be made again at the very next session.

No, it only kills it for the duration of the session. (RONR, 11th ed., pg. 126, lines 5-6)

For example, let's say that I move a motion to the effect of "That the clubhouse and outddor property be a smoke free environment." Let's assume the motion is seconded. If someone moves that it be postponed indefinitely, and that is passed can the motion, or a similar one is brought up again at any point? By a similar motion, let's assume that it is a motion to include only the inside of the clubhouse but not the exterior property.

The same motion (or any similar motion) could be made at a later session. The same motion could not be made at the same session. Whether a similar motion could be made at the same session depends on whether the motion "presents substantially the same question" as the motion which was postponed indefinitely, which is a bit of a judgment call. In my opinion, the example you have provided would not be in order.
