I would like to start a thread of discussion on the process of conflict resolution. Acorn Creek Community in Austin is now discussing this topic. More specifically, we are interested in what other groups have done (or plan to do) in resolving conflicts that have blocked consensus. We are considering an "emergency" process of reverting to a 75% majority vote. However, there is concern that a process of moving from consensus to majority vote needs to be clearly defined. One idea is to allow any member at anytime to request a 75% vote on whether to have a 75% vote on a proposal. Others feel that this is too easy and voting may come too quickly without greater effort in resolving conflicts by consensus. On the other extreme, Quakers use consensus and apparently have no "emergency" process to get around blocked consensus. I have a Quaker friend who told me that the Quaker building here has been without air conditioning for many years now because one person in the congregation does not consent. This is Austin, Texas! The congregation meetings gets quite small during the heat of the summer. I am interested in your ideas and very interested in what has worked and not worked for you.
