Yes, several. Three outlines that come to mind immediately are:

   1. parliamentary procedure, which James brought up implicitly in his
      comment when he mentioned the words "motions" and "deliberative assembly". 
      (See "Robert's Rules".)

   2. consensus, e.g. as exemplified in the IETF processes, which I brought up
      when I mentioned "RFCs". (See RFC 2026.)

   3. dictatorship/oligarchy. (See LKML.)

Which are you interested in recipes for?
