# Consent Decision Making

Proposals become agreements when they are considered *good enough for now and safe enough to try* until the next review.

Unresolved objections prevent proposals from becoming agreements.

Withholding objections can harm the objectives of a team or organization.

#### Implicit Contract of Consent <a href="#implicit-contract-of-consent" id="implicit-contract-of-consent"></a>

2. I agree to share objections as I become aware of them.
