Guest Dan Honemann Posted April 16, 2010 at 08:53 AM Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 at 08:53 AM Motions to Lay on the Table and to Reconsider bear little, if any, resemblance to each other, and serve entirely different purposes. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest George Mervosh Posted April 16, 2010 at 12:11 PM Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 at 12:11 PM Perhaps if you describe what you're looking to do we can offer a recommendation, which may not be either of the two motions you mention."

Guest Chris H Posted April 16, 2010 at 01:17 PM Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 at 01:17 PM Probably the only thing those two have in common is that they must be seconded and require a majority vote." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chris H Posted April 16, 2010 at 01:19 PM Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 at 01:19 PM Joanne, I would recommend you read RONR pp. 201-211 and 304-325 which discusses Lay on the Table and Reconsider respectivly." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob Elsman Posted April 16, 2010 at 01:53 PM Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 at 01:53 PM Lay on the Table has very limited usefulness in ordinary societies. On this forum, we almost never run into a case where the motion is not being misused. I think you can likely set it aside from further consideration."

Guest J. J. Posted April 16, 2010 at 05:36 PM Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 at 05:36 PM Lay On the Table temporarily suspends consideration of a motion, until it is taken from the table. The effect of a motion to Reconsider is to reconsider a motion already decided. J. J." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gary c Tesser Posted April 16, 2010 at 06:16 PM Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 at 06:16 PM (Apology for typo of "Joanne" and associated omission of the comma. Dang sticky keys. Blanged cat hair up the nose.)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
