QUOTE
[...] Pending Changes will become live on 1 December, 2012. To allow developers enough preparation time, we recommend that community discussion about changes to the draft Pending Changes policy be concluded no later than 1 November, 2012. If the community has not, at that time, reached a consensus about how to change the draft policy, Pending Changes will be implemented according to the terms of the Draft Policy until the community can find a consensus.


Wikipedia will be using Pending Changes by December 2012.

Below is a hyperlink to the "default" Pending Changes policy:

What's surprising here is that the Provisional policy (Position #2) only had 61% of the !voters supporting it. That percentage is lower than the usual threshold for consensus.
