The process includes an agenda, proposals, facilitator, clarifying questions, modifying the proposal, hearing from everyone so everyone has a voice

The process concludes with a decision rule, often 100% unanimity — everyone must approve the proposal (except those standing aside) in order to pass it.

A decision rule of 75%, 80%... not 100% (Super Majority)

Four-Choice Method:1) I support it2) I don’t support it because I don’t know enough about the proposal (or don’t have an opinion)3) I don’t support it and stand aside4)I block it.

Systemic Consensus

consensus training, create more effective agendas, craft better proposals

Solution-Oriented Meetings

The N St. Method - first seek consensus-with-unanimity. If that doesn’t happen, then organize a series of solution-oriented meetings with one or two proposal advocates to create a new proposal that addresses the same issues as the original proposal. The new proposal goes to the next meeting, where it will probably pass. If a new proposal is not created and proposed, the original proposal comes to the next meeting for a 75% super-majority vote, and it will probably pass.
