The vote was a majority were in favor. The request for input went out.
The ITAC lost myself, and Andy. The new guys voted differently than Andy and I when the ITAC went over it again, and the net result was a tied vote.
And ANY issue is "open" because all a member needs to do is write in. The CRB didn't table it, or return it to the ITAC, the merely rubber stamped what was perceived as a "No change" vote from the ITAC.
I think the biggest issue (other than a couple guys being happy to ignore the HUGE member input :shrug:) was the fact that the vote had the ability to be split evenly. Odd numbered committees work well for that reason. (And yea, I'm well aware of the fact that we rarely had a "full committee" (another pet peeve, LOL) on a con call, and that could result in an even/split vote)
