[sv-ec] clarifications on mantis 2606 vote

As per action item during sv-ec meeting on June 15 2009, I clarified the voting
procedures per IEEE sv-ec operating procedures with Karen Pieper.  The mantis
item 2606 fails to pass based on the guidelines.
Here is the information on the vote, from meeting minute [to be published to
the sv-ec site later this week]:

On Mantis 2606, id 62, there was a vote taken with the following results:

          Move: Francoise  to approve mantis 2606  proposal  2606_proto_refs[2].pdf
      Second: Steven
    Abstain: Jonathan [outside of core competency]
    Opposed: Mark, Arturo,
             [outside of scope this ballot raised,
              we would vote yes if the second sentence was re-phrased to  type declaration]
          Steven: It reduces consensus, even though it is a better way to go.
                             I am in favor of proposal but concerned it would trigger negative ballot.
    Total:
                   YES:  Dave, Ray, Jamie, Don, Francoise
                    NO:   Mark, Arturo, Steven,
         ABSTAIN:  Jonathan

Note that based on this vote and the one in the previous sv-ec meetings, the procedure
and policy guidelines will be updated to be more clear.
