Consensus Workflow.png

With the exception of matters of a constitutional nature, decisions regarding the type, nature, scope and details of OCF Collab Network work are determined through a processes of consensus. The figure on the left illustrates the process. All work of the Network start with ideas that get vetted, tested against the Network's scope and documented through a proposal that is made up of one or more Use Cases and a Project Plans. Participation in developing a proposal should be transparent and inclusive to the extent that the workgroup developing the proposal are fully engaged in its development.

When a Proposal is deemed sufficiently complete for an approval decision by a workgroup chair or a facilitator, there is a test of consensus on the proposal. All engaged members are asked to "consent" if they approve, "stand aside" if they don't feel they can either consent or object, or "object". An objection is valid only if it is accompanied by a justification and an alternative path that cures the objection.

If there are valid objections, there are two paths forward: (1) a modification to the proposal curing the objection is developed using the same transparent and inclusive process that resulted in the original proposal and a re-test of consensus is taken based on the modified proposal; or (2) there is an acceptable justification by those involved that the objection has been previously considered and rejected or is something that should be delayed for subsequent work.
