Adrian: MetaCard definitely don't want to give everyone a MetaCard licence
and in fact they once suggested a two-level system - I haven't heard
anything against this system.

Adrian: I would like to see majority votes as consensus certainly isn't
working - we gained consensus on the licencing issue (at one stage, I
thought) and still wanted to put it to a vote, also we never seem to know
when we have a consensus.  So we need to vote and we're not going to get
everyone to vote on every issue.  I would then suggest a simple majority
vote with each member getting 1 vote each.  I would suggest that only
partners get to vote, unless the partners decide to open up the vote to
associates as well.  There would of course be a third type which is open to
all - that's more of an opinion poll though.  Are there any arguments
against this?
