LeoP has described the CIAM voting procedure and usual practice correctly.
In case of a vote on a proposal, only the number of votes are registered,
the countries not, that concerns for the TMs as well. At the FFTM, after
discussion, finally there was a 7:3 majority vote for the proposal. (During
the discussion there was a test vote on a supposed proposal variant not
adding the 0.2 g weight to the model, it has got 9:1 support, but as there
was no such proposal on the table, the final voting happened on the
original one.)
Having majority vote on the proposal, it was recommended at the Plenary. I
noted 22 votes for the proposal, 8 against (someone else noted 6), so 30 or
28 countries voted. As 40 countries were represented, 10 or 12 not voted,
which is possible and recommended if the country is not interested or
involved in the particular class.
