0"Tabled" would often mean "postponed." In Robert's rules, when a motion is being considered, a member may move to "table" it. If that motion carries, all discussion of the previous motion ceases, if I remember correctly. It's used in less formal situations to mean "let's put it on the back burner."02br

00Another word for your sentence might be "scheduled."02br

00Thanks. May be I did not hear the speaker correctly. Before posting the question , I had googled the phrase to see sentences using that phrase, and the use was not very clear to me. Just now, I found the following sentence. I think 'tabled' in the second sentence mean 'postpone'02br

00In some legislative assemblies, 'tabled' means 'brought up for immediate discussion'. But in others, it means that discussion is postponed.02br

00In other words, it depends on what country you are in.02br

00I'm sure it's the latter. The verb form simply refers to placing something on a table, often for immediate discussion or occasionally because we want to talk
