I am using standard definitions, same as the rules. Neither the rules nor the pledge define the terms specifically. Under r101: "resolve": complete the formal process with a result. Appears in the rules in multiple context; other than r101, none having to do with judgement. "reconsideration": reopen the formal process and produce a potentially new result. Other than r101, forms of "reconsider" do not appear in the ruleset at all. "Consider" appears in the context of judgement, but not specifically defined. -Goethe
