[sudo-discuss] Proposals for voting

[hol at gaskill.com]

"1. All decisions about the building are made through consensus, except
when specified."

are enumerated. For example, "except when specified in section 2.3 of
the articles..." Otherwise, people would be free to add cases that are
exempt from our consensus process without changing this section.
