INCITS has recently revised their rules, which are published in Reference
Document 2 (RD-2). This document is available on the INCITS web site at:
  http://www.incits.org/rd2/main.htm
One significant change is that the two-thirds rule has changed as follows:
4.4.2.2 2/3 Voting Rule 
The 2/3 voting rule is defined as: 
    * approval by at least 2/3 of those voting YES or NO, and 
    * approval by a majority of the voting membership. That is the threshold
is not affected by the number of members present at the meeting for a meeting The change is that abstentions are no longer subtracted from the second part
of this rule. 
I have updated the INCITS Vote Calculator on T10.org to reflect this change:
