mfarrior Posted June 30, 2012 at 03:06 AM Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 at 03:06 AM Our church has no specified voting procedures in the by-laws. Would it be improper to make a proposal or a motion and delay the vote to a specified time? This would allow the members time to thoughtfully consider the motion before voting.

This would allow the members time to thoughtfully consider the motion before voting.It would probably be acceptable, so long as the postponement is not beyond the quarterly time interval and to a different session (see pp. 88. 90).
