My initial version didn't even have the 'at least two ..' wording in it,
instead I expected it to read as "present on lists, wait for feedback,
only then implement".
Maybe it could be written as
| [..] We invite the DAM to further develop his ideas
| in close coordination with other members of the project, and to present
| a new and improved proposal on the project's mailinglists in the future.
|
| Significant changes should only be implemented after consensus within

| resolution.
How would that sound? Do you have a specific other wording you would
suggest?
