Editing Consensus Process (section)

====The Long Version====
# Dick wants to paint the bike shed pink, others at Noisebridge say this is a great idea.
# Dick adds "Paint the bike shed pink" to Discussion Items for next week's Tuesday meeting.
# Dick shows up at the meeting and discusses his plan with everyone attending. Discussion is allowed to continue on for a week to give people time to read and respond to the meeting notes if they weren't at the meeting and want to be involved.
# Jane thinks this is a stupid idea, she doesn't think the bike shed should be painted at all.
# Jane and Dick argue for 5 minutes, everyone gets annoyed and tell them to shut up, Jane says she'll block consensus at the next meeting.
## Jane, being an member who is excellent to others at Noisebridge, talks to Dick after the meeting, Dick offers to be ok with painting the bike shed whatever color, Jane says blue is great, Dick agrees. Story continues.
## In an alternate universe Jane is totally a jerk and doesn't want to be open to anymore discussion about this, she'll block no matter what. Story ends here.
# The note taker of the meeting posts the meeting notes to the wiki and the mailing list.
## Marty sees the item, even though he wasn't around for the meeting he responds back and states that he isn't going to support this issue unless eco-bio-organic friendly paint was used. Dick agrees.
## Cathy emails the list and says she doesn't feel that spending Noisebridge funds on paint is a smart thing, but wont block.
## Yojimbo does want to block this item but wont be able to physically make it to the next meeting, since he's never actually been to the space and doesn't actually know anyone there, he's having a hard time convincing someone to act as a proxy for him.
# Dick puts the topic into Consensus items for next week's agenda.
# At the meeting, Dick discusses the item and what his new revised plans are.
## Bobby blocks because he feels Noisebridge shouldn't have a bike shed in the first place. Go to step number 5.
## The meeting moderator asks if anyone disagrees to the bike shed getting painted, everyone's silent, consensus has been reached.
# Dick paints the bike shed.
