So the vote was actually nearly 2 to 1 in favor? (Roberts rules are to not count abstention.) One can complain about the makeup of the committee, and deplore the outcome, but it is not outrageous that a committee proceeded with a policy which was put to a vote and won by this kind of margin. (Even 58% to 42% would be a winning margin.)
“Consensus” was always a fantasy for this kind of policy.
