My reading of that has been that this is limited to actual technical
matters (such as those in 6.1-2 of the Constitution).  But on
re-reading the text, while I would still say this, I agree that my
reading is by no means the only one of the text.

So, Technical Committee, what say you?  Would you entertain such
requests?
