Consent is about integrative decision-making so that, for the time being, all decisions will be within the limits of tolerance of all aspects of the system.
Policies and decisions are crafted by systematically, integrating the core truth or value in each perspective put forth. The measurement of when you have achieved consent is that no one involved in the decision-making process knows of a reasoned and paramount objection to proceeding with the proposed decision. All reasoned and paramount objections must be addressed in the decision-making process, giving everyone involved in the process a voice in their own governance.
The thumbs protocol is a light-weight version of consent—a proposal is accepted if there is at least one thumb up and no thumb down. Thumb down means that someone has a reasoned and paramount objection to the proposal.
Do not confuse consent with consensus. They are fundamentally different.
