−	This graph shows how consensus works in a meeting. Before the meeting, it is suggested that ~~people~~ prepare by discussing the ~~issues~~. When possible they should bring well thought out proposals to the meeting. ~~When~~ possible, the wording of these proposals should be publicized in advance. However, there are times when all that is brought is a topic to be discussed. In these situations, for time critical items, a proposal may need to be developed at the meeting.	+	This graph shows how consensus works in a meeting.
