Rather than making the bad decision in the first place, we should try to stop it from happening, since bad decision is important to the voting process since Singapore is a "P" member. No point to turn back and change vote, even if we don't let the person can get away so easily.
We should set an example here, to uphold the ISO process, where it affects countries internationally. No is a no, and committee members should not vote according to commercial benefits, but rather uphold the ISO standards, which is based mainly on quality, rather than quantity. Letting a poor quality standards to become ISO standards, will be a mistake. Since the technical committee has vote no, there should be some "hidden" and "secret" reasons why it becomes yes in the end. Hopefully the news that Singapore Technical Committee's reconsideration vote no after BRM spread widely worldwide, and if this becomes yes in the end, answers should be given promptly to why they made the decision instead. I believe they should at least answer to the technical committee, else technical committee is useless ... if they decide to go with a yes.
