reconsider
Revisit your position
To reconsider is to think again about a decision or opinion, usually with the possibility of changing it: I hope you'll reconsider your resignation.
The word implies the original position may have been hasty or wrong.
Courts reconsider rulings; committees reconsider votes.
On reconsideration signals a change of mind: On reconsideration, I think you were right.
