To me the points are:
It is hereby resolved that:
- The Foundation requests that the GNU Free Documentation License
be modified in the fashion proposed by the FSF to allow migration by mass collaborative projects to the Creative Commons CC-BY-SA license;
=> The whole resolution is in any case submitted to the changes brought to the GFDL.
* Upon the announcement of that relicensing, the Foundation willinitiate a process of community discussion and voting before making a final decision on relicensing.
=> If that relicensing (actually, I find the term relicensing is very misleading here, because it seems to say that relicensing will happen and THEN the dicussion will come.) or rather, in my interpretation, if those "changes are applied" or this "migration is made possible", THEN there will be community discussion and the Foundation will ultimately vote on whether the projects will adopt CC-BY-SA in the future.
I was also confused by this wording. If the GFDL is modified, how does the WMF even have a choice whether or not to accept the modifications?
