Cohousing-L Mailing List: Moving back from concensus?

[Melanie G (gomelaniego]

Again, I am with Sharon.  If the goal is expediency aka putting time limits
on decisions and outcomes, it's not actually consensus to me.

I asked this before Phil, and kind of assumed maybe it was a typo.  But
here it is again!  Could you please explain what this means?  "even after
an arduous good-father effort"  I am truly confused by this sentence.

And thank you for clarifying about the governance models versus decision
making processes Bill.
