Cohousing-L Mailing List: Changes in Decision Making Processes

[Patty & Pat Nowlin/Guyn (pattypat]

I am a member of the Wholelife group in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and we
are finally entering our construction phase!!!  During the design phase
we made all decisions by consensus, either at a committee level or a
large group level.    We are now entering a phase where we do not have
the luxury of time to consense on every decision.  We have had 1  group
member be the contact between our consultants and the group  and he has
done a great job.   Unfortunately, he has decided to leave this role as
he believes (as do many others in our group)  that we cannot continue to
have meetings and consensus on every decision regarding construction.
My questions to the list are:
  Have other groups found that their decision making processes changed
during the construction phase?  What have groups found to be the most
efficient  way to make decisions during the construction phase?
