You might be looking for

the Draft Consensus Items page, instead? If your consensus item still drafty, in need of much revision, and not something that you think people already can more or less agree with.
Consensus Items History is the public record of consensus items that have been decided on in the past. Please move the records from the "Current" page to the "History" page once they've been approved/blocked.

August 1, 2023	proposed by Mark	Updating & clarifying Membership process language.	Currently, there is an 8 week process to become a full Member, (Consensed on Feb 8th 2022), with 4 weeks dedicated to reviewing their application for concerns/blocks. But also, we Consensed in 2018 on a 2 week post-acceptance "oh shit" period in case a Member is late to block for whatever reason. We need to decide if this is still necessary since the new process allots so much consideration time and update the language accordingly so that it is clear that it overrides the old "oh shit" process, if it indeed does. We also want to clarify that big M ("full") Members are the only ones who can sponsor both Associate Memberships as well as big M Memberships. Proposal: 1. Amend the Feb 2022 Membership process Consensus item to say "oh shit" period is no longer necessary, and 2. Amend the Membership application form and associated documentation to state clearly that all sponsors must be Full Members in good standing.	Author of this record: Mark
