Hola tengo otra consulta relacionada con el "semáforo del consenso"

http://www.fundacionede.org/gestioninfo/docs/contenidos/_8pa...

El semáforo del consenso
Descripción:
Técnica que pretende conseguir la máxima implicación activa y consciente del equipo de trabajo teniendo en cuenta un gasto en recursos y tiempo
razonables.

Comentarios:
En muchas ocasiones los problemas surgen al no haberse llevado a cabo una verificación ordenada y consensuada por parte de los miembros del equipo de trabajo y/o al producirse “aceptaciones pasivas” por algunos de los mismos.

...remember that problems arise when the team members do not conduct an orderly and agreed verification and/or when some of them...?

Explanation:
In other words, some of the team members may simply go along with the decision without really buying into it.

“On their part” can, I think, be safely omitted in the translation.

A literal translation works fine here, as long as it is understood that “passive acceptance” is not a countable noun phrase in English in the way that it is in Spanish).
