My reading that it does, but only in the case where a delegate is
implementing a technical policy or decision.
6.1.1 empowers the CTTE to make any technical decision, but 6.1.4
modifies that to require a 3:1 majority when the decision has already
been made. Furthermore, if 6.1.4 doesn't apply to technical decisions
of a delegate, than only 6.1.1 applies, and only a simple majority is
needed.
For example, the policy editors are currently delegated, but 6.1.1
speaks specifically to policy. In a case where we were going to
override the policy editors, I think 6.1.4 and 6.1.1 should both
apply, but I'm certain that 6.1.1 does.
