Abeyance

Abeyance was a temporary suspension of an activity or decision until something else was resolved.

In 2366, Jean-Luc Picard abruptly cut communications with a Sheliak colony ship after declaring them in abeyance of the Treaty of Armens, Commander Riker commented that he had enjoyed it. "You're damned right," agreed Picard, the Sheliak themselves having behaved similarly in previous communications with them. (TNG: "The Ensigns of Command")
