I read last week an article Dennis Noyes in Motociclismo which explained a bit how this 'motocracy' works.
Apparently there's 4 gorups, each with a vote: DORNA, IRTA, MSMA, FIM
Just to remind who is who, DORNA are the owners of the MotoGP show, IRTA is the teams association (I think), MSMA is the manufacturers association and FIM is the International bike racing association (rulemakers of bike racing in general but with limited power in Motogp).
Within MSMA there are 7 manufacturers (Honda, Yamaha, Ducati, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Piaggio, KTM). The vote of the MSMA is decided by a majority of inner votes (4 or more). But they also have the power to veto any proposal if all 7 vote against, they also have the power to impose a proposal if all vote in favour.
DORNA's vote is decided by the shareholders of the company (Ezpeleta, Ecclestone etc ...). But DORNA's power is that in case of a 2-2 draw in voting their vote wins.
FIM's vote is decided by the FIM members and it's president (Venezuelan Vitto Ipolito)
IRTA's vote is decided by an internal voting (I think).
Therefore with regards to the single-supplier tyre manufacturers the writer think it will go forward because apparently, DORNA wants it (cause they made the proposal) and IRTA wants it too (apparently) . We presume FIM is against it because last time I read Mr. Ipolito's opinion he said he was against single tyre supplier. MSMA's VOTE we don't know, obviously Ducati, Suzuki and Kawasaki will vote against, but since they don't have the unanimous support because Honda and Yamaha are in favour they cannot veto the proposal. So it doesn't matter.
DORNA + IRTA can impose the proposal.
AFAIK the tyre manufacturers have no say in it, and it seems they can't even present a joint front (Michelin, BStone and Dunlop bosses met at Japan but didn't reach an agreement).
Also the 250cc 2 stroke extinction (or backstabbing like I prefer to call it) will also go on because DORNA wants, and the majority of MSMA members want it too, only KTM and Piaggio (includes, Aprilia, Derbi, Gilera etc...) are against.
