To be concrete, some of the ways that I know about include:

1) cancel this vote and start a new one with an edited proposal.  Since the
podlings suggested text is effectively only a suggestion just as the
resolution that the IPMC provides to the board is just a suggestion, this
is a fine procedure

2) start a side vote to include a note asking the board to change the
resolution.  This is finicky and not as straightforward as (1).
