Good post outlining approaches to cooperative decision-making. I really like the overview of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)'s approach, as enshrined in a document from 2014. Says Doug Belshaw, "What the IETF calls 'rough consensus' I think I'd probably call 'alignment'. You don't all have to agree that a proposal is without problems, but those problems should be surmountable." Similarly his discussion of sociocracy and left-libertarianism. I wouldn't give myself any of those labels, but I would start from here as well: "you can start from a basis of personal autonomy, but end with an egalitarian approach to the world where resources (especially natural resources) are collectively owned."
