Consensus decision-making is a group decision-making process in which participants work together to achieve a broad acceptance. Consensus is reached when everyone in the group assents to a decision, even if some do not fully agree to or support all aspects of it. It differs from simple unanimity, which requires all participants to support a decision. Consensus decision-making in a democracy is consensus democracy.[1]
