- Decision-making in meetings is by rough consensus or, if agreeable to a majority, by systemic consensus.
- Rough consensus: If a person puts forward a proposal and no one opposes it, it is adopted. If someone opposes it, discussion resumes on the current point.
- For clarity the proposer should be explicit in stating their proposal and in asking for opposition, for example: "I propose x. Does anyone oppose this?".
- Opposition can be expressed verbally or by raised hand.
- Systemic consensus: If a person calls for a decision and a majority are in favor, a systemic consensus is taken, otherwise discussion resumes on the current point.
- For clarity the proposer should be explicit in calling for a decision and asking for a majority, "I call for a decision regarding y. Would you prefer to continue discussing... or come to a decision?".

- Rough consensus: If a person puts forward a proposal and no one opposes it, it is adopted. If someone opposes it, discussion resumes on the current point.
