When a motion is postponed definitely, what does it mean?

When a motion is postponed definitely, it indicates that the discussion and decision on that motion will take place at a specified later time. This allows the assembly to temporarily divert attention to other matters while ensuring that the original motion is not lost or abandoned completely. By setting a definite time to revisit the motion, members can prepare accordingly and give it the attention it deserves at that later date.

The key aspect of postponing definitely is the clarity regarding when the discussion will resume, distinguishing it from other forms of postponement, such as tabling it indefinitely, which leaves the motion in limbo without a clear path forward.
