A draft resolution contains an operative clause that directly contradicts another operative clause in the same resolution. During voting, a delegate points this out. What should the dais do?

To force delegates into rapid decision-making, the backroom may issue an update that requires a directive or resolution to be submitted within a strict window, known by this term.
