 You'll hear a lot about consensus at Free Geek, because it's the method of democratic decision-making that we use for all of our group decisions. Consensus is not merely a unanimous vote, but a process for finding a solution that is best for the group. There are many techniques for attaining consensus; it can be very informal or fairly formal. Watch one of our meetings some time and see it in action.
