I don't quite understand the question. The entire point of the ballot is
to make it mandatory (i.e. MUST) in almost all circumstances for CAs to
look up DNS CAA resource records. The text you quote is one of the small
number of exceptions, which basically says you don't have to do it twice
for CT (although you can if you like and it's easier).
