Thanks Jenny!
3. Revision to Consensus Process:
Thus far, the Omni Collective has made decisions using a full
consensus model. The proposal on the table is for votes to strive for
full consensus, but resort to a 2/3 majority vote if consensus cannot
be achieved. This model was recommended by Jesse, who has extensive
experience representing coops and collectives who've run into problems
with full-consensus models for hairy decisions like banning an abusive
individual or - as may be the case with us - removing particular
groups/collectives from the larger collective.
I am blocking this one. We can implement different voting models for
specific types of decisions similar to what sudo has. Revoking consensus
completely is a lazy solution (and yes, this suggestion is equivalent to
revoking consensus as the decision-making process).
