My understanding on that.

Key Questions / Issues ·         Do we permit 1st deferrals? ·         Do we 
require a reason / motivation for deferrals?·         If a reason is required / 
provided, is it subject to any test?·         Are 1st deferrals automatic or do 
we subject them to some form of vote / test?·         Can a deferral be 
overruled?  If so, what is the condition / test to overrule?·         Do we 
permit 2nd deferrals?·         If we permit 2nd deferrals, do we subject them 
to some form of vote / test?·         Do we permit 3rd deferrals? My Answers ·  
       Do we permit 1st deferrals?
Yes·         Do we require a reason / motivation for deferrals?
NO at the first deferral motion. (the reason could be anything) but limited to 
certain time (I think no more than 21 days)
·         If a reason is required / provided, is it subject to any test?
No, we trust the provider of the reason·         Are 1st deferrals 
automatically granted or do we subject them to some form of vote / test?
Yes, they are automatically granted·         Can a 1st deferral be overruled?  
If so, what is the condition / test to overrule?
Yes, subject to a request from a councillor and a [supermajority] vote of the 
council to deny - only in cases where the urgency alleged, can be probed
·         Do we permit 2nd deferrals?
Yes·         If we permit 2nd deferrals, do we subject them to some form of 
vote / test?
Yes, 2nd deferral requires a request from a councillor and a [supermajority] 
vote of the council to permit - in this case Councillor who raise deferral 
motion must show to the council  or a) motion had sustantively changed, or b) 
information for a vote was/is not available, or c) information came after 8 
days motion posting.
·         Do we permit 3rd deferrals?
No.  A motion should be voted on or withdrawn at this stage.
Note: I use “withdrawn” not “tabled” as tabled in my English, tabled means put 
forward / submitted not withdrawn
