Consensus, a page in wikipedia, and mentioned on the page for Parliamentary procedure (useful maybe for large groups, even outdoors, less formal, efficient?)

• Seems more focused on larger consensus than the majority, refining proposals until more people can agree.
• Involves as many stakeholders as possible, working toward gettin everyone on board as much as possible.
• Can use many polls, or separating into affinity groups, with each appointing a member to the spokescouncil, and sitting behind that member.
• Might use hand signals or colored cards for efficient voting.
• Requires recording the dissent, for respecting it and comparing later, to learn from it.
• Most forms require learning why dissent occurs, as it could be important in how it affects people.
• Seems to handle brainstorming per the wikipedia page's section under "modified Borda count vote".
• Has used the "people's microphone".
• To some, like the Student Nonviolent Coordinating committee or SNCC of the civil rights movement, it meant "discussing a matter and reformulating it...
• The "quaker model" seems an interesting approach.
• Downsides?: to get agreement, it might get a hybrid of bad ideas. Hopefully with ROR, it comes up with a good idea (ignoring bad, more).
• more info: see its wkp page, and could see also other pages that links to.
