We have a majority vote in our bylaws to be used if consensus cannot  
be reached, but no process for determining when it can be invoked. We  
haven't gotten close to using it, although one or two residents would  
like to use it.

We also don't have  definition of consensus written down. In effect,  
we it means no remaining objections.
