I think it's clear that "none of the above" means we would not have an outcome to present, but I feel "none of the above" to be clearer. Besides, the TC does not only vote when mandated to make a decision; we could also host a vote on, say, prospective members to appoint to the TC. Take as an example bug #880014 — Had I not been appointed as a member, maybe there would be nothing left to discuss. Why mandate the then-TC to keep discussing my non-nomination ad nauseam? </speak-with>
