= Consensus = * '''invite a knowledgeable volunteer to give '''[[Consensus Process|a brief primer on consensus process]] * It is important that everyone in attendance understands at least: ** Blocking with verbalized principled objections. ** Why we use consensus over other approaches to decision making. ** How consensus isn't a legislative process ** Why consensus isn't applicable to some things like conflict resolution, resolution of time sinks, and the like. * Lady Red: Most of the things that happen here happen in a doocratic way. People take it upon themselves to organize the change, or be the change they want to see. But not before checking around and gathering momentum. The bigger the change the more people that need to be involved. This is doocracy. BUT EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE there is a really big change, that is about how we do things around here. For example, how we do membership. Recently we also got a fiscal sponsorship program off the ground to sponsor smaller groups that are not tax deductible organizations. A formal consensus is a consensus of the members. In voting, 51% of the people vote for it. In consensus, just no one has to block it, but anyone can block it. * Victoria: Blocking is not procedural, you don't stand up and say I BLOCK THIS and move on and expect Noisebridge to just get over it. Blocking means you have a principled objection to the way the space is going. It means basically that you'd be leaving the organization if that goes forwards as planned. It's the groups duty to work with the person who is blocking. If you want to block a thing, think hard about. Compromise is a key point of consensus. It just takes one person to shit it up as a member. * Patrick: I've been away from Noisebridge for 3 weeks - and my boobs have gone up two cupsizes. Think they're trying to tell me something? I've put on all of 3 pounds, and all of it went straight to the boobs. Not sure whether to finish eating my halloween candy or run for the hills (and maybe beyond, just to wear some of it off). I miss being able to vent - none of my friends IRL understand the pain of having 3 gorgeous, well-fit bras, to having none inside a month. == [[ Consensus Items History | Proposals from last week ]] == ''(Add any items which are consensed upon or someone has raised a principle objection for to the [[Consensus Items History]] page.)'' == [[ Current Consensus Items | Proposals for next week ]] == ''(Add any new items for consensus to the [[Current Consensus Items]] page.)''
