-----------------------------

I totally agree, however that is how the minutes are written.

I raised this issue a while back. As I recall, I was told that this would not

> The secretary tool in whimsy uses the term "table" to mean that a decision on 
> an item is deferred. Unfortunately, that means exactly the opposite in 
> British English.
> It would be much better to use the term "deferred" to avoid confusion.

> Establish the Apache Submarine Project (Wangda Tan, VP)
>  Establish the Apache SINGA Project (Wang Wei, VP)
