View source for Category:Consensus Call

A "call for consensus" or "consensus call" is a question put to the workgroup or the OCF Collab Network to measure the level of consensus and to determine whether there are issues/objections that must be addressed. Calls for consensus may be formal or informal. While both formal and informal have most of the same fundamental attributes; a formal call for consensus must:
*be <u>announced in advance</u> if the call is to take place in a synchronous meeting or online through a consensus form as outlined in the T3 Guidelines; and
*throughly documented in the permanent record while an undocumented, informal call for consensus may be called at any time to take the "temperature" of the group before moving on.
