I think it is to make the best decision possible. The one that is the most effective in enriching the lives of community members. The place limits on ones ability to do that would be self-defeating. If improvement is the purpose of the decision, then random limits on vetoes means once a person has used up their vetoes, they can no longer insist that a better solution could be found. It also infers that one has a certain number of vetoes. I think all the qualifiers and limits on consensus decision-making distract from the purpose of consensus in the first place. The purpose of requiring consent loses meaning. Sharon ---- Sharon Villines Takoma Village Cohousing, Washington DC http://www.takomavillage.org
