Err.

d. Approval by Majority Vote
If a quorum is present, *the affirmative vote of a majority *of the
voting power represented at the meeting, entitled to vote and voting
on any matter, *shall be deemed the act of the members*


To go all SAT on it, all things which pass consensus will pass this section,
but not everything that passes this section passes consensus.

Not sure if this section is actually relevant to the usual consensus items.

And, in any case, it's pretty purely academic: I don't recall anything
meaningful being blocked except in a "Let's talk about this next week" sort
of way.

(Full disclosure: I don't really care in any case, since I moved to random
cash donations when I use the space instead of regular membership a long,
long time ago.)
