    - if more than 25% of votes cast are negative or less than 15%
      of the OASIS Membership cast positive votes, the submission

    - if negative votes are cast but amount to fewer than 25% of
      votes cast, the committee decides by a Special Majority
      Vote either to continue unchanged, withdraw or amend the
