“Lazy Consensus” is a form of decision-making that assumes that a stated path forward is acceptable to all in the group unless objections are raised (also known as “yes becomes the default”). Typically this means that someone will state a decision and a plan to act on that decision unless someone objects in a timely fashion (usually 72 hours). Assume best intent. See a description of how Lazy Consensus is used in the Apache OpenOffice project and how it has been applied to library operations.
