I filed a ticket to clarify 
http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/ticket/8525

But what I'm not clear on, is what's actually blocking you. Is there a problem with the specific status?

All the procedures and regulations regarding voting and contribution is documented there. I invite you to study that document carefully if you decide to keep contributing to the CLDR (which I hope you do).

That is, even if an organization has 10 Vetters voting for an value, if the highest level is regular vetter, then the vote count attributed to the organization as a whole is 4.

Most locales in CLDR only require 4 votes for the item to be draft="approved" ( which is the meaning when no draft status is specifically mentioned in the data ).  The only exceptions to this are the "high visibility" locales, ( examples would include things like German, French, Arabic, or Chinese ).  For these locales, 8 votes are required in order to make a change ( 2 set of eyes from 2 different organizations ).
