Mea culpa. Had you simply not voted (i.e. sent in a blank line or
something) I would've interpreted that as "not voting". But there was an
explicit vote (the "ABSTAIN" vote) present, so I was obliged to count it
as a non-affirmative vote (which I believed it was).

Recognized as 183/0.
And Antonio's Imperial proposal is 182/0.
