Is will a action verb or linking verb?

This is the future passive construction of "will postpone". "Postpone" is an action verb: its complement does not describe the subject. "The committee postponed their decision" - the decision is the object of the verb, not a description of the committee. Linking verbs are never transitive and thus they can never be passive.
