re: making Consent an Official Principle (serious request)

I would like to know who do I talk to in order to bring up adding Consent as an official principle to the Burning Man Principles. Even if it is widely supported by the community, I feel it will only do what it should if it were added as a principle. Do I talk to the BM LLC, DPW, or something else? Or do I need to go to the Reno Office and talk to the Board in person? I've seen the value of Decommodification when going to a festival and seeing the damages commodification does. I know it might just be a long shot, but I would like to see it happen while I'm here living on this earth. Thanks in advance.
