Lazy Consensus is a useful technique to make decisions. When you don't anticipate any objections, for decisions of low impact or decisions that can be revised easily, you can post something like the following on a mailing list (or some other communication channel):
"I am going to assume lazy consensus if there are no objections within the next seven days."
Also, you should make it clear what the consensus decision will be if no one objects.
This technique is used in the Apache community, see [1].
