They would either be using the powers of the CTTE in 6.1.2, 6.1.1, or 6.1.3. My point is that there's no difference in the constitution between developers /making/ a decision that requires CTTE powers and /overriding/ a decision which requires CTTE powers. [If that was clear previously, I apologize in advance for becoming more emphatic.] I suppose there could be some draft texts which did not actually require the CTTE powers (as a position statement, say), but without language to the contrary in the CTTE's decision, the majority needed is irrelevant to whether the CTTE has vacated its decision or not. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com N: Why should I believe that?"
