Using Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised (RONR), action on a pending question may be postponed to another time.
Alternatively, a motion can be postponed until after a specific event has occurred, such as after an officer makes a relevant report.
[1] Postponing a motion is permitted so long as: Under Demeter's Manual, if a motion to postpone definitely specifies a time that falls after the next regular meeting, or after a certain event which will not occur until after the next regular meeting, then it is treated as a motion to postpone indefinitely, which effectively ends consideration of the pending question.
[5] Amendments to it may only relate to the desired date that the assembly will resume consideration or if the question is to be a special order.
[5] The Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure (TSC) treats the motion to postpone to a certain time similar to that in RONR.
