Remember the goal is a decision everyone supports.  Not just a decision. 
So worrying about "rights" is the wrong focus. 

I certainly try to either trust the group writing the proposal, or to join it. 

But no one is helping the group by "going along" and then complaining about, 
downplaying, or not following it later.
