1. I'm half way through this, and have to say, I'm impressed about how will organized this women is in

trying to reach and let others become aware of this process of Consensus decision-making.


Consensus decision-making is a group decision making process that seeks the consent, not necessarily the agreement, of participants and the resolution of objections. Consensus is defined by Merriam-Webster as, first, general agreement, and second, group solidarity of belief or sentiment. It has its origin in a Latin word meaning literally feel together.[1] It is used to describe both the decision and the process of reaching a decision. Consensus decision-making is thus concerned with the process of reaching a consensus decision, and the social and political effects of using this process.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consensus
