Description

6.3.12.2. Rescinding a Candidate Recommendation just says

The process for rescinding a Candidate Recommendation is the same as for rescinding a Recommendation.

But the concept of rescinding and the reasons why you might want to do it are explained in the next section (about rescinding RECs), so it feels out of place.
