It's easy for a committee to enact something which has been defeated, it 
is not easy to enact something against a motion which has been passed!

It's not quite status quo as it would prevent the list being made 
subscriber posting only without a future AGM vote, or at the very least 
it would be a brave committee who would discard such a motion.

If however what's on the table is the option to make the list subscriber 
posting only and that is defeated, there is nothing on the books to 
discourage a committee taking an exectuive decision in the future to 
enact the change.
