The TC PnP may not be updated quickly enough to address emerging policy decisions by the TC or EPC. Thus, a means to override or extend policies is provided.
The Technical Committee may temporarily override specific procedures set forth in this document by a motion to override the normal TC Policies and Procedures. Approval of such an override motion shall require a two-thirds majority vote of non-abstaining Voting TC Members, present at a quorate TC meeting or by electronic TC vote.
The TC may choose to generate a Policy Directive to create a specific rule for use in the TC business. The Policy Directive is approved per the rules for [voting-forum] in a meeting. TC-generated Policy Directives are not approved via email or electronic votes in the TC. The EPC may also recommend a Policy Directive for TC and such a directive can be approved by email vote of the TC.
