>    - *Ballot SC29* does not conflict with this ballot, as SC29 only

>    - *Ballot SC27: *
>       - If Ballot SC27 is adopted, the modifications to the Baseline
>       Requirements shall be as shown in the above comparison (
>       https://github.com/cabforum/documents/compare/4f3f38d..8b70d19).
>       - If Ballot SC27 fails to be adopted following the IP review
>       period, the modifications shall be as above, *except as follows*:
>       Section 3.2.2.4 shall be unmodified from its current form in v1.6.8, and
>       Appendix C, which will not have been adopted, shall not be modified or
>       added as part of this ballot.
