Which motion is used to stop discussion until the next meeting?

The motion used to stop discussion until the next meeting is commonly referred to as "lay on the table." This motion allows the assembly to set aside the current topic of discussion and deal with other matters. By tabling a motion, the group does not dispose of it entirely; instead, the discussion can be resumed later, either at the same meeting or at a future one, depending on how the motion to lay on the table is handled.

This is particularly useful in situations where members feel that the current issue at hand needs to be postponed due to the need for more information, further discussion at a later time, or to allow for the consideration of more pressing matters. It allows for efficient time management in meetings and helps ensure that important topics are not lost but rather rescheduled for later attention.

The other options suggest varying methods of handling discussion but do not specifically address the intended goal of pausing the discussion until the next meeting in quite the same manner.
