If so, I would propose changing that immediately as a first order of business. It needs to be 6 votes, not just 2/3 of the votes received.
I believe that's true. I also believe it could pass with 1 yes vote and 8 TB members not voting before the deadline.
But an abstention is actually considered a vote. And, for the record, I've never abstained from a vote.
Neither scenario above is likely to happen but any TB member is free to make a motion to change the voting rules at any time.
