Does anyone know of a community that has either moved away from a
traditional model of consensus for community governance and then returned
to it, or that moved from a non-consensus based model of decision making to
a more traditional model of consensus?

(I say traditional because sometimes "consent" is considered a form of
consensus, as with sociocracy, but I would call that something more like
"modified consensus." What I'm looking for when I say traditional consensus
is that most decisions are made by the whole group and that everyone in
the group generally needs to agree in order for things to happen.)

Thanks in advance for your input!
