Please point to any policy on P2PU that purports that the voice of the community can affect changes in the structure.

 

I certainly was not aware of, nor made aware of, any place or system within P2PU where a person could actually cite policy to enact changes.

 

If the meaning and nature of "rough consensus" and the specific issue, is determined by the existing power structure, and that power structure is not available to be modified, than what you have really is a oligarchic benevolence government.  That's not open in any sense of the word with which I'm familiar.  I do not like dictators, be they single persons, or a dozen oligarchics.  This isn't ancient Greece, and any system of "We'll listen to you as long as we like to but we're not under any requirement to do anything the public wants" isn't an open governance system.

 

Policies vague to the point where a government can do whatever they want anyway, are worthless policies.

 

 

At present, the policy is supposed to be based on "rough consensus" -
so if there wasn't a consensus around the issues you brought up, then,
yeah, the discussion was likely to just be over.
