to delegate the decision for that specific [=Formal Objection=]
to the W3C Board of Directors,
to an officer of its corporation (such as the Legal Counsel),
or to one or more specific individuals from the [=Team=].
Delegation in such cases cannot be later revoked.

Otherwise, having reviewed the information gathered by the [=Team=] and its recommendation,
and after sufficient sufficient deliberation,
the [=W3C Council=] decides whether to
<dfn>sustain</dfn> or <dfn>overrule</dfn> the objection.
