Is this democracy or bureaucracy? I'm not sure. If I read it correctly, your proposal is to:
- discuss the merites of something
- make a decision on basis of that discussion
- discuss the merites of the decision
- implement the decision
The idea is to propose the decision before implementing it, so if it turns out to be based on false assumptions or misunderstandings, it can be noted. This is how we usually do things around here: if there's a discussion and you think it's reached a consensus (say, on moving an article), you don't just do it, you post saying: do we have a consensus to move this to [[blah]] then? Then you wait a day or two before actually moving it.
