I think I confused matters by how I showed the changes. This section is specifically about GRs by the Developers. In that situation, the default option is always "None of the above." >> 6.3.

Is this intentional, or was this a historical artifact? This was intentional. I think that the default option for the TC is different than that for a GR because the TC have a project obligation to attempt to arrive at a decision, whereas it is more common for the Developers in a GR to decide they don't want to say anything at all. That said, I don't feel strongly about it. > Also, as stated here in 6.3.1.1, it appears that any member of the TC > may propose a resolution... on any subject they want?

I can if folks feel the need, but I think it's fairly obvious in context that this is constrained by the 6.1 Powers section slightly above this section. (For whatever it's worth, this is also not a change; the existing text just says "A draft resolution or amendment may be proposed by any member of the Technical Committee.") -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
