To delay consideration of the main motion until the next meeting, a member would properly move to postpone to a certain time. This motion specifically allows the assembly to set a definite time for the discussion of the main motion. When a member moves to postpone to a certain time, they indicate that they wish to delay the discussion but still want to ensure that it will be taken up at a later, designated time, such as the next meeting.

This process is crucial in parliamentary procedure as it allows for better time management and consideration, especially for motions that may require further research or discussion. Setting a date also keeps the assembly accountable and focused on pending business.

The other options do not fulfill the requirement of delaying consideration specifically to the next meeting. Postponing indefinitely ends the discussion on the current motion outright, limiting future consideration. Limiting or extending limits of debate deals with how much discussion can occur, rather than when the motion will be discussed. Committing the motion refers to sending it to a committee for further examination, which would not necessarily bring it back for consideration at the next meeting without additional action.
