2/3 actually means 7/10 for the TAB.

Except two of the CoC committee members currently serve on the TAB, and
will not vote. Assuming they will also not count for the total, 2/3
means 6/8 = 75%.

All of a sudden you actually need 3/4 majority in the TAB to approve any
CoC measures.

Perhaps consider using a simple majority instead? The numbers become
6/10 and 5/8.
