In [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_procedure parliamentary procedure], an agenda is not binding upon an assembly unless its own rules make it so, or unless it has been adopted as the agenda for the meeting by majority vote at the start of the meeting. Otherwise, it is merely for the guidance of the chair.

If an agenda is binding upon an assembly, and a specific [[time]] is listed for an item, that item cannot be taken up before that time, and must be taken up when that time arrives even if other [[business]] is pending. If it is desired to do otherwise, the rules can be suspended for that [[purpose]].
