Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Vote or Stand aside?

[fergyb2 (fergyb2]

Sounds like the perfect time to Stand Aside to me, although traditionally that 
is used to indicate a willingness to support the group decision even though you 
own preference is for something else.  In a voting scenario ( rather than 
reaching consensus) you could just abstain but in consensus decision making a 
good facilitator would want to hear your views anyway.
