Thanks for the explanation of consensus, etc. Consensus is frequently misunderstood. But it's incredibly effective in just the way that you've specified. However it's the "why" it works that is so amazing.
First: it just plain feels good when it works.
Second: it develops the decision making capacity of the team, allowing everyone to learn to take a more nuanced initiative after a meeting.
