Description: The ‘Jargon-Free Consensus’ is a consensus model designed to facilitate communication and collaboration among participants of varying levels of technical knowledge. Its main goal is to eliminate technical jargon that can often create barriers to understanding and participation in decision-making processes. This approach promotes clear and accessible language, allowing all participants, regardless of their prior experience, to effectively understand and contribute to discussions. By focusing on clarity and simplicity, Jargon-Free Consensus fosters an inclusive environment where everyone’s opinions are valued, potentially leading to more informed and representative decisions. This model is particularly relevant in contexts where the diversity of knowledge and experiences is broad, such as in open-source communities, interdisciplinary working groups, and public discussion forums. By adopting this approach, the aim is not only to improve communication but also to strengthen collaboration and a sense of belonging among participants, which can lead to more effective and sustainable outcomes in collaborative projects.
