It is intended to make sure the right questions are being asked and the right topics are being covered.  It should also be neutral in nature to allow all sides of an issue to be discussed.

The new wording does not preclude any discussions on “approvals” nor does it implicitly endorse an approval-based model.  It (hopefully) is neutral and by virtue of having the word “consent” in the paragraph will naturally lead to discussions on how one obtains consent or non-objection if required.

And finally, according to http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/consent <http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/consent>, the term “Consent” is synonymous with, “approval, assent, authorization, permission, allowance, acquiescence”, etc.
