Cohousing-L Mailing List: Consensus and Early Work

[Rowenahc (rowenahc]

At Cambridge Cohousing we have found that except for simple proposals and
"emergency" measures it is almost never a good idea for a committee to come
to a meeting with a full blown proposal.  At the least we try to have a
session on the subject at the General Meeting where "Hopes and Concerns" are
expressed and recorded.  If the proposal is one which will have significant
impact we break out into small groups, otherwise we do it with the full
group.  The committee members then take into account the various desires of
the community and can contact those with strong feelings to incorporate
their concerns into the proposal.
