Actually, after I voted it occured to me that no formal proposal was ever
sent for Yi languages (other), so there is no evidence of sufficient
documentation. So it is against our principles to be voting on something
that was never submitted.
I would suggest that even if it's a formality, that we conduct a second
ballot. That is what is what our procedures call for if there is not a
unanimous vote.
