Problem[edit]

Governance. You need to make a group decision. Discussion does not seem to lead you anywhere.

Implementation[edit]

Use the weekly plenum for discussion. Do take votes — the strongest minority wins over the weaker minorities. For some problems this pattern is the best. See, however, fractional voting.
