I think either of these produce a better and simpler wording...

Proposal the first:
====
Change Rule 4, Consensus of Opinion to read:
---
A Consensus of Opinion on a particular issue exists if:
 a) one entity named on the List of Voters (the proposer) makes 
   a proposal describing the issue to all other entities named on 
   the List of Voters.
 b) either:
   i) All other entities on the List of Voters unambiguously consent 
     to the proposal.
  ii) 72 hours have passed since the most recent version of the
     proposal and no entity on the List of Voters has vetoed it.
 c) The proposer posts a public Notice of Consensus to the other
   members detailing the issue upon which Consensus of Opinion has 
   been reached.

Proposal the second (with one-off wording):
====
Change Rule 4, Consensus of Opinion to read:
---
A Consensus of Opinion on a particular issue exists if:
 a) one entity named on the List of Voters (the proposer) makes 
   a proposal describing the issue to all other entities named on 
   the List of Voters.
 b) either:
   i) All other entities on the List of Voters unambiguously consent 
     to the proposal.
  ii) 72 hours have passed since the most recent version of the
     proposal and no more than one entity on the List of Voters has 
     vetoed it.
 c) The proposer posts a public Notice of Consensus to the other
   members detailing the issue upon which Consensus of Opinion has 
   been reached.
