Generally the best way to get lasting agreement on major policy changes on wikipedia is/used to be a policy RFC. You then advertise that RFC and get folks involved that way. That gives you the "more then 10" that white cat was referring to.

And since there is no effective means of community wide discussion, and after that, there is no means to determine that consensus has been reached, with a community so ill defined, we have a problem with consensus.

By "community consensus" I mean the result of "community wide discussion". Community consensus does not mean a discrete discussions by an elite number of editors in some hidden sub project page no one cares about.
