title: Consensus Decision with Facilitator
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A facilitated consensus process in which a group works toward agreement
|
|
that everyone can support or at least not block. Common in cooperative and
|
|
activist organising, drawing on Quaker and collective practice.

steps:
|
|
- headline: Present the proposal
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A proposer summarises the proposal and the need it addresses, then
|
|
yields to questions of clarification only — not opinions.
|
|
- headline: Gather concerns
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The facilitator invites concerns and reservations, listed visibly
|
|
without debate. Each concern is a chance to improve the proposal.
|
|
- headline: Amend and discuss
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The group discusses amendments that address concerns, with the
|
|
facilitator tracking proposals and checking for agreement on each
|
|
change.
|
|
- headline: Test for consensus
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The facilitator asks whether anyone cannot live with the revised
|
|
proposal. A block must come with a reasoned explanation and an offer to
|
|
help find a solution.
|
|
- headline: Confirm and record
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The decision is restated, written down with any reservations noted, and
|
|
the action steps and responsible parties are confirmed.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
A decision that all participants can support, with dissent engaged rather
|
|
than overridden.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
Distinguish a block from a stand-aside. A block is rare and serious — when
|
|
blocks recur, revisit the proposal's assumptions or the group's shared aims. |
