That is not how the game is played. Those votes were taken in WG5. We have just had the SC22 ballot on the CD when each member country tries to get as wide a view as possible from its interested population and feeds that back to SC22. This is the opportunity for 'the world' to say what it thinks of the Fortran CD. Absolutely any aspect of the CD may be commented upon. It is not simply another vote in a series of votes taken within WG5. SC22 then passes the comments to WG5 for decision, which should be based on technical argument, not on earlier voting history.
