The original history of why it was introduced temporarily was explained. At the time it was done, some people were blocking consensus while refusing to explain reasons for the block.

It was suggested that changes to the consensus process that might be revisited again in the future similar to [[Expedited Consensus]] procedures should be kept in a "Consensus Process History".

Currently in order to block a big C consensus Item, we need only 1 member to block. Would like to update this number to 2 members. Perhaps the 1 member to block made sense when the community was tiny. It doesn't make sense anymore in our much larger community. If you cant convince anyone else to block with you, then maybe you just have bad ideas. The community should not have to make changes only folks with bad ideas think are good. This change would be provisional for 3 months. Also would only apply for member proposed consensus items, non-member proposed consensus items would still be block able by a single member. Also only 1 member would be required to block new membership. Also if any one member would like to block, but cannot because they are alone, they can request a 1 week hold to defer decision for an additional 3rd week. Finally being able to articulate reasons for blocking is required. Good faith blocking is the only acceptable kind of blocking. If no 'legitimate' reasons for blocking can be supplied then they community can override the block. Obviously this is subjective. However blocking just 'because' is not considered viable reason to block and wont be honored. |} It was suggested that changes to the consensus process that might be revisited again in the future similar to [[Expedited Consensus]] procedures should be kept in a "Consensus Process History".
