Ok, you got me. It was late and my statemant was, as you pointed out, 
flawed. I'll have another try to get up a proper justification for
my point:

I'd like to point on the introduction of this article:
"Consensus is defined [...] as, first, general agreement, and second, group 
solidarity of belief or sentiment."

General agreement is established by these rules you refered to. However, 
"group solidarity of belief or sentiment" in my opinion isn't that easy.

I personally am not sure wether we have "group solidarity of belief or 
sentiment" here, and I don't think we can declare it without Geza agreeing.

To be clear here: that does not meen that Geza must agree on the proposal 
or withdraw his objections. I only ask wether he considers the groups belief 
and sentiment on accepting the proposal solidary.
