Sorry, my phone cut off the rest of the message:
Could you repost the relevant section of the operating procedures that defines the ways we can reach a "simple majority"?

This is essential to allow the CCWGto proceed on any next (final?) draft and its work on WS2.So we are assuming one more round of comments?Hope this is helpful!Very much so, thanks!Julf
