What part of "immediate vote" isn't clear? All this does is determine
whether the decision of the DPL is put on hold or stands for the
course of the discussion/resolution period.
Even if Manoj were to delegate the running of this vote to another
developer,[1] that developer would have to conduct an immediate vote
as well.

1: I don't see an issue with suggesting this just to avoid any
possibility of this kind of accusation, but it's not like running the
vote has any special power in this regards; everything is pretty well
spelled out by the constitution. [This is why jurists recuse
themselves, of course... not that they aren't capable of being even
handed, but just to preserve the appearance of the same.]
