(Co-) Chair(s) of the WG where the policy is being developed could be allowed to take the initiative of declaring on the list that there were sufficient grounds (for example: overwhelming support in Discussion Phase and no impact) for considering earlier support as carrying over into the Review Phase, and that because of this silence would exceptionally be taken as consent.
That would seem to give an opportunity to save effort and irritation.
Niall, Eric, @WG... This seems like a good idea to me. Chairs are there to determine a consensus and something like this would be a great addition to the variety of ways in which they can actually do their job :) Cheers, Jan
