WHAT HAPPENED IMMEDIATELY AFTER — The vote was ignored
As a result of the debate, a resolution was passed to conduct an investigation and have further discussions during the upcoming Mayapur meetings.
Those promised further discussions never happened. Instead:
The GBC passed a Prohibition Order in 1990 declaring the posthumous ritvik initiation theory a “dangerous philosophical deviation” — totally prohibited in ISKCON. No devotee was permitted to participate in such ceremonies in any capacity, including acting as ritvik, initiate, assistant, organizer, or financer. No ISKCON devotee could advocate or support its practice.
The editors of the Vedic Village Review — Nityananda Das, Rupa Vilas Das, and Karnamrita Das — were ordered to admit error, apologize publicly, and permit the GBC to distribute a written rectification to their entire subscriber base at the VVR’s own expense. If they refused by May 31, 1990, they would be expelled from ISKCON.

Where and when did Srila Prabhupad ever said, he's the Last guru on the eternal chain of disciplic succession which was established by Sri Krishna Himself?
he did by instituting a ritivik system in 1973 and not changing it, if you change the orders of your spiritual master according to your own intelligence then your are sure to be doomed as sure as death.
