“Our credo is that we don’t let a single individual dictate decisions (a king or president), nor should decisions be made by a vote.”132 In a consensus-seeking model, the goal is not to “win” votes or come to a unanimous agreement, but rather to ensure that there’s a forum for people to raise and discuss their concerns, and that nobody feels strongly enough to block the group from moving forward. Consensus-seeking emphasizes discussion over enumeration: “Rough consensus is achieved when all issues are addressed, but not necessarily accommodated.”
