The motion text says:
The P1788 Working Group adopts the principles set out in
sections 1 and 2 of Position Paper PP008, "A proposed structure
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
for the process of constructing the P1788 standard".
and the rationale says:
Note that this is a vote on principles, NOT on the detail in the
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
following section 3 and appendix. P1788 members may see various
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
defects of commission or omission in those, and are asked to
point them out, as a separate issue from this motion.
Evgenija, the sentence "It does not include Kaucher and modal
intervals." you're quoting is from Section 3. If I understand
correctly, this section is not part of the motion we are voting
on. Can anyone confirm?
Also, I don't think that Sections 1 and 2 of PP008 reject Kaucher
and modal intervals, since they just propose a structure, but
don't really define anything.
Any comment?
(I'd like to have more information before voting. Indeed I don't think
Kaucher and modal intervals should be rejected before any discussion
about them.)
