Just to add to that, as I understand "to table something" it doesn't necessarily mean to discuss immediately, but in *English* it very definitely gives the topic some urgency.

Used outside of a meeting, it would be understood as "this needs to be on the next agenda", and in a meeting we would typically say "this needs to be tabled for the next meeting".

Having watched one of my local council meetings, it was very definitely the case that if it wasn't on the agenda it wouldn't get discussed, so tabling something would make sure it got on the next one.

Cheers,
Wol
