Quoting from a relevant wikipedia entry[1] to hopefully pre-emptively reduce some confusion:
'''
In parliamentary procedure, the verb to table has the opposite meaning in the United States to the rest of the world:
- In the United States, to "table" usually means to postpone or suspend consideration of a pending motion.
- In the rest of the English-speaking world, to "table" means to begin consideration (or reconsideration) of a proposal.
