So far CSCG's internal processes have worked reasonably well on the
basis of consensus-based decision-making, by which I mean that not
only will a proposed decision only become a decision in the absence of
objections, but also that everyone works together constructively
towards reaching consensus, i.e. there is an implied social contract of
not abusing the possibility of objecting.
