[edit] Glossary
Communities have there own jargon and particular use of words. Please feel free to put a definition of a word or phrase here - or request someone explains something that you don't understand.
Consensus Decision-Making is a group decision making process that not only seeks the agreement of most participants, but also the resolution or mitigation of minority objections. Consensus is usually defined as meaning both general agreement, and the process of getting to such agreement. Consensus decision-making is thus concerned primarily with that process.
