Good catch.  I have added the following clause to my draft:

7. Proposing a general resolution.

   When the Technical Committee proposes a general resolution or a ballot
   option in a general resolution to the project under point 4.2.1, it may
   delegate the authority to withdraw, amend, or make minor changes to the 
   ballot option to one of its members. If it does not do so, these 
   decisions must be made by resolution of the Technical Committee.
