[LEAPSECS] Some details

[François Meyer]

>From a french delegate :


The insteresting session will start thursday 13:00 UTC.

The decision will be made during that RA, so 
deadline is Friday evening.

Voting procedure (needs confirmation) :
If a vote is required, a quorum of 50% of the delegates 
is required ; if not reached, there will be an extraordinary 
session of the RA immediately following, with a second vote 
(and, I guess, no quorum requirement).

The decision needs a simple majority (50%) 
of the voting (yes or no) delegations. 
Abstentionists are not accounted for.

It will not be just a dry vote ; severe arguments are 
expected with contributions  from the US and UK, and 
comments from other delegations, before a possible vote.

So, there will be some fun apparently...
