jstackpo Posted February 28, 2012 at 10:27 PM Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 at 10:27 PM Bring them up next meeting.If your agenda was adopted, then those unreached items would come up (sort of) as Unfinished business and General Orders. Which directly preceeds new business, so it makes little difference whether they are UB&GO or New Business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious items in agenda should have been discussed.JaneIt is never in order to Lay on the Table (often known as "tabling") an item to a specific date. The motion to Postpone should be used instead.

Rev Ed Posted February 29, 2012 at 07:01 PM Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 at 07:01 PM As usual Tim is correct - the issues should not have been tabled. However, if they never came up for discussion, then they would fall under Unfinished Business at the next meeting. Only one main motion (i.e. one 'issue') should ever be tabled at one time, and only if there is an important issue that needs to be dealt with. And then once the other issue is delat with, the tabled motion is then once again before the assembly.If you really wanted to have the issues dealt with at the last meeting, then you should not have consented to adjournment - either by objecting to a unanimous consent request to adjourn the meeting, or by voting against adjournment. Should a time for adjournment have been made, then you could have made a motion to "amend something previously adopted." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not automatically return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that moving to Lay more than one item of Business On the Table at the time, is not in order; it is not out of order to have more than one item of business Laying on the Table at the same time, as long as each item of business were moved, individually.See p. 363 ll. 28 - 31.
