re: #77 Obdicut

I’m not talking about the specific case, but in general.

In what context have you seen the consensus process work?

Quaker meetings, in particular (I”m Jewish, but I have taught at a Quaker college and attended Quaker meetings on occasion). Other smaller group decision-making processes where we agreed to make decisions based on consensus. There are, IMO, some real advantages in that you can diminish the extent to which group processes result in “winners” and “losers.”

I have conducted classes where decisions were made on consensus process, to a very good effect.
