I can't see anywhere in the resolution it claims to invoke 4.2.2.2, so afaics
that doesn't apply.

If this immediate vote is compliant with the constitutional requirements
(which afaics it's not), please consider the voting period varied to
one week.

I believe the options should be:
Choice 1: The DPL's withdrawal of the delegation remains on hold pending a vote
Choice 2: The DPL's withdrawal of the delegation stands until a vote
with no default option (or, since there is no quorum, Choice 2 being
treated as the default option, which is equivalent).
I'm not sure what all this is aiming to achieve beyond being a different
attempt to effectively prevent me from exercising any DPL powers, and
to further discourage people from having any faith in our constitutional
processes.
Cheers,
