+===== TITLE
+
+Creation of isdn devices by isdnutils
+
+===== WEB SUMMARY
+
+The committee overrules the maintainer of isdnutils to require the
+inclusion of code to create isdn devices by isdnutils.
+
+===== EMAIL INTRO
+
+The technical committee was asked in #698556 to overrule the decision
+of the isdnutils maintainer to remove the creation of devices.
+
+===== EMAIL EPILOGUE
+
+The committee would like to thank Michael Biebl for discussing the
+concerns of the technical committee and working to address those
+concerns through technical changes to NM.
+
+===== DECISION
+
+Whereas
+
+1. The technical committee was asked to overrule the decision of the
+isdnutils maintainer to remove the creation of devices (see #698556).
+
+2. There is a tested patch ready to use available.
+
+3. The bug in question is considered release critical by the release
+team.
+
+4. In spite of being asked, the maintainer didn't comment on this
+request.
+
+5. Considering the current time plan, we don't expect to have other
+ways to create devices nodes (i.e. via kernel changes and udev) in
+time for the next stable release.
+
+
+The Technical Committee
+
+1. Decides to overrule the decision of the maintainer of isdnutils to
+remove the creation of device nodes
+
+2. Authorizes Christoph Biedl to undo the change with an upload to
+unstable earliest an week after the decision, unless the maintainer
+uploads an revert faster.
+
+3. Asks the release team to allow the fixed package to move to
+testing for the next stable release.
