Consensus Decision making resources for understanding this process and solving issues linked to it:

• http://www.consensus.net/formal.html Food not Bombs have some articles on formal consensus procedure. Quite good, useful for reference, especially http://www.consensus.net/ocac2.html
• Myths about Consensus Decision-Making For the starting point, I chose a subchapter entitled "Decision Making Processes" from the book "Politics of Social Ecology" by Janet Biehl. I then asked two people who are actively involved in these issues to comment on it. The original piece cuts at the heart of consensus and both people offer some insights into this form of decision-making and in the process, deconstruct some of the myths about it.

• HandSignalsEn - HandSignalsPl - HandSignalsFr - Since it is difficult to listen to more than one person at a time, voice communication is more or less one-to-many. How can we add many-to-many communication to a face-to-face meeting? By using visual signals, with our hands, instead of interrupting the speaker.
