This vote is 4.2.2.4:
         4. If the decision is put on hold, an immediate vote is held to
            determine whether the decision will stand until the full vote
            on the decision is made or whether the implementation of the
            original decision will be delayed until then. There is no
            quorum for this immediate procedural vote.

I had to read this a few times.  But now my understanding is that
the decision is on hold until the procedural vote, and that it will
be followed by a GR.  The procedural vote just says if the decision
stands or is put on hold between the procedural vote and the GR.
