POSTPONING MOTIONS

It’s common for people to move to table a motion when they really intend the effect of the motion to postpone to a particular time. The undebatable motion to lay on the table is properly used only when something of immediate urgency has arisen, and the motion does not specify a time when the matter will be taken up again.

The debatable and amendable motion to postpone definitely is usually more appropriate –
for example, to postpone until after something else has happened in the session,
more information can be gathered, or to a specific hour.
