Votes at ISO/IEC

I have tried to get an overview of how the voting in ISO/IEC works. I'm ot sure about all the details, so if you have aditional information, please leave me a comment.

O-member: Observing member.
P-member: Participating member.
L-member: Liaison member.

This is how it works:
First all P-members are counted, and if there are more than 1/3 of NO votes among the sum of YES+NO votes, the proposal is rejected. There is about 30-35 P-members.

If the P-members can't reject the proposal, there is a second count with all the O-members and P-members. In this count, there must be 1/4 of the total voting countries (about 104) to get the proposal rejected.

So O-members are also very important if it comes to a second vote.

Note that this way, the ABSTAIN votes actually counts in somehow. This is because these votes is *not* counted in the total sum of YES+NO, so an abstaining country is encreasing the chance of getting enough NO-votes. It's possible to Abstain with comments, but I don't see how the comments can come into the game. Comments to an Abstain-vote will only have domestic value.

The entire list of voting members consist of the following 104:
