Matt Sicker commented on WHIMSY-297:
------------------------------------
Ideally, a postponement should include the time it's being postponed to. For
example, say we move to postpone the Petri motion until the next board meeting.
Then you could say "postponed to 20 Nov 2019 board meeting" or something
similar.
> Never, never say "tabled"

> Project: Whimsy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Ted Dunning
> Priority: Major
>
> 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.
> Here is an example from a recent board report:
> {quote}The following resolutions were passed unanimously:
> Establish the Apache Submarine Project (Wangda Tan, VP)
> Establish the Apache SINGA Project (Wang Wei, VP)
> The Establish the Apache Petri Project resolution was *tabled*
> {quote}
