A: It depends on what you mean by "tabled."

In common American usage, it means to set the motion aside indefinitely; to kill it. Or, it sometimes means to set it aside temporarily (as in "let's table this question until after lunch").

In British usage, it means to consider a motion (as in "let's bring it to the table").

There is a story of the confusion this difference caused during World War II when some British officers wanted to table (promote) a plan, and the American officers were outraged because they thought the plan too important to table (kill).

Perhaps because of this ambiguity, RONR does not use the phrase "to table."

There is a motion to Postpone Indefinitely (RONR section 11), which is used to defeat a main motion without actually voting on it. You might move it, for example, if the main motion was to donate your club's treasury to feed a homeless child, and you thought adopting the motion would destroy the club but you (personally or your club) didn't want to go on record as having voted against feeding the child. If the motion to P.I. was then adopted, the original motion could not be discussed again during your session (meeting or series of meetings connected by a single agenda). After that session, it could be brought up again at any time.

There is a motion to Postpone Definitely (RONR section 14), used to delay consideration (within limits) to a certain time, meeting, or until after a certain event. It would be the motion to use instead of "let's lay this on the table until after lunch." The postponed question becomes an order of the day for the time it's to be brought back, and it cannot be discussed until that time. The chair usually brings the postponed motion back into discussion, but if he fails to do so, any member can call for the Orders of the Day (RONR section 18) which would order him to take it up. At that point, discussion continues where it left off.

Finally, there is a motion to Lay on the Table (RONR section 17). This is used to temporarily interrupt a discussion in order to handle an urgent matter. For example, if while your club was discussing the annual picnic your city mayor came in and asked to immediately speak to the club for 10 minutes, you could adopt the motion to Lay on the Table, then grant the mayor his time. The motion is not automatically brought back when the mayor leaves; it can only be brought back by adopting a motion to Take from the Table (RONR section 33). If it is not brought back by the end of the next session (or by one quarter-year if that's sooner), the motion that was on the table dies. While the motion is on the table, it may not be discussed, nor can another motion be considered that would conflict with it in any way.
