Consensus can be built on the mailing lists before hand, and the talk
pages, etc.
If it cant be reached the first time around, a subsequent refined
proposal would do well to incorporate reflect consensus, and the
simplified "vote" process set in motion again.

An iterative straight voting approach, where each round takes 21 days,
could run three times before it is approaching the 70 day duration
proposed earlier.
