Overall Direction

<aside> ✋ This is an exercise and design document for establishing consensus within groups (particularly physically decentralized groups). It is based largely on the work of Dean Spade and the model that he presented in Mutual Aid for establishing consensus, but with some modifications (e.g. the addition of the "Grounding" step).
