Here's a few links:

 From http://community.apache.org/committers/lazyConsensus.html:

"Sometimes a member of the community will believe a specific action is
the correct one for the community but are not sure enough to proceed
with the work under the lazy consensus model. In these circumstances
they can state Lazy Consensus is in operation."

On reading that back I realise it's a horrible explanation, so I just changed it to:

"Sometimes a member of the community will believe a specific action is the correct one for the project but are not sure that there will be consensus. In these circumstances they may not wish to proceed with the work without giving the community an opportunity to feedback. In these circumstances they can make the proposal and state Lazy Consensus is in operation."
