An important distinction regarding consensus. In human relations, everything is voluntary. When a person is coerced, 'voluntary' is much restricted in proportion to one's loss of freedom - however, there are some things that remain negotiable. For example, a person in prison can go to the bathroom voluntarily. This is not to say much for one's freedom - but the important thing to notice is that some, though limited, freedom still exists.

Consensus is voluntary. How could it thus be enforced? Maybe 'enforced' is teh wrong word - but the intent is:

Enforced means that everyone already comes with consensus. There is no struggle for consensus. Simply because the parties at the table aready expressed their consensus. Ie, there are conditions, goals, etc - that have already been agreed upon.
