... we've not successfully figured out, yet, how to tell the difference between a "minor" and "major" GM issue. For instance, a proposal to make all community meals strictly vegan doesn't cost money, and is readily reversible ? and yet, would probably be seen by at least a few households as a Big Deal.

We too try to delegate many decisions to our committees, and while our bylaws define what should be a "major" plenary-level decision, they might not cover every issue that some might consider to be a Big Deal.

We handle this via a provision that any three (or more) households can ask for a proposed committee-level decision to be declared "major" and thus subject to plenary consensus decision-making. Such a request would automatically be granted.
