This proposal updates a the previously ratified proposal entitled: [Interim Group Consensus Process](https://hive.blog/fractally/@dan/genesis-fractal-branding-and-interim-group-consensus-process), which is now out of date as of August 6th, when we initiated the 2-Round ƒractally system.

## New Council Approval Process
The updated process (mirroring the steps from the original proposal) are as follows:

Before each weekly meeting any member with an average rank (as calculated by the avg(level formula below) of 6 or greater may introduce a proposal for consideration by the community. This proposal shall be posted as a link in the comment section of the hive post where we record the consensus results that week. Each qualifying member may only propose one item per week.

After Round 2 of each weekly meeting (on the same video call), those 12 with the highest weekly averages (as calculated by the avg(level) formula below) may discuss the proposal, and if they approve they can reply to the comment with "Approve" or "Reject". If 2/3 of those 12 approve then the proposal passes.

If 2/3 of the 12 fail to reach a consensus within 1 hour to either Approve or Reject then those 12 individuals lose the respect they earned that week.

**Average Level Formula**
<code>avgnew = (5 * avgold + level) / 6</code>

This is an interim process that can serve until modified using the same process or the automated workflow on fractally.com is ready.

## Applying Old Rules to Ratify New Rules
In Round 1 we will ask each group to specify a Level 6 (as we did before we went to 2 rounds) and ask 2/3+ of these people to approve the new interim rules so that we no longer need to specify a Level 6 in Round 1.
