I think that consensus is a more democratic method of decision making.
Although with a project our size, and distributed as ours, its probably
just about impossible for us to use consensus. To read more about formal
consensus process, see http://consensus.net/ocaccontents.html
I imagine we could use consensus of we had regional meetings, with
rotating representatives who took the regional decisions to a national
meeting of reps, and then to an intl meeting to make the final decision,
with time for iterations and feedback back down and up the chain.Michael
Albert has written extensively about how multi-level consensus decision
making can work in larger scale organizations, see

What does that mean? You don't believe voting happens? You would
rather have decisions made without voting?
