It is wise to make it difficult, but not impossible to change a business decision. Something like 50% of members agreeing to reconsider in a general meeting, and then consensus in a general meeting to change the previous decision. BTW, we always recommend that participation (and therefore voting) be by individual, rather than by household. This is consistent with the consensus process which empowers all individuals equally. Community decisions should, IMHO be open to evolution.
