I'm not sure you meant it, but a "2:1 majority" requirement looks like
a supermajority requirement -- twice as many supporters as opponents.
Right now, a nontechnical policy document or statement can be issued
with a simple majority (modulo the fact that the Condorcet method isn't
as simple as "simple majority"). It does not require a supermajority.
Requiring a 2:1 majority is a major change, and one that does not tie
in well with Manoj's or Branden's proposals.
Did you mean to create a supermajority requirement, or simply a
majority requirement?
