Greg raises very important points. Neither a "mandatory vote" nor a "presumption of acceptance" was intended. The only change proposed was to raise the threshold, under current practice, from simple majority to 2/3 if a vote was ever required at the last stage of the Board's consideration of GAC Advice.
Is a presumption of acceptance not implicit in a rule that says you need 2/3 to object? I think this will change the relationship of the GAC to the Board, creating an expectation of acceptance. In any case, you offered it as a way of trying to win the GAC's support for the Recommendation on ST18 as a whole. Has it achieved that? Does the GAC now support this, as a package?
