Is a motion such as this in order under Robert's Rules?:

Move to adopt, pending a positive outcome of a test or other contrition

If it is in order, what should be done when the the positive outcome is achieved
and what should be done if a negative outcome is the result of the test or condition?

If the motion is not in order, what alternative is there to adopting something pending something else?

Thank you.

Thank you.

I would suggest postponing debate and voting on the motion until a later date or time when the outcome of the desired test or condition is known.

Interesting info about Roberts rules from '09.

Disclaimer: Seems to be Virginia and Florida centric.

I read your question, per Bruce's advice, and the replies at robertsrules.forumflash.com, James. Helpful to me too as I wasn't sure our Board was doing it right. We are.
