In that case I'd suggest changing it to the even more general phrasing 'a 
Consensus of Opinion on a particular issue exists when ...' That way, we 
can use it just as effectively to agree that things shouldn't be changed, 
or anything else we fancy. Do you want this now, or shall we leave it until 
we've decided on any other changes that should be made to this rule (eg. 
adding passive consent)?
