A method which might work (better?) is this: * Every question gets an owner (designated by council) * That owner sollicits discussion and proposes a solution based on feedback * The council and Nokia retain a veto, for reasons such as practicality, the decision not reflecting consensus, or legal issues. * In the event of no veto, the decision proposed by the owner is implemented. The idea of having one owner is to have one point of decision. This is the de facto way it works anyway, except right now the owner is the doer, rather than any council member or group.
