-----------------------------
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
change.
However I have not been able to find the email (yet).

> 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}
