JR: I disagree. That's not Consensus fault. It Noisebridge' fault, for
letting people join votes when they're late.

JR: so, "large" = "late"? No, it doesn't. I'm pro "you can't join a vote
if you're late", but that applies to Majority voting too, not just
Consensus.
Consensus fails in large groups, but is manadatory small groups (like
the Board).
Most NB issues would best be handled by small, special-purpose
working-groups, not the general membership. People who feel they must
have a voice on every darned decision are welcome to join every darn
working-group.
Even Al admits (above) that Consensus works fine in small groups.
