I'd say that's the definition of consensus. A consensus exists if and
only if no-one objects.
Usually "meaningful consensus" means some attempt to canvas a range of
views. Getting no objection from the 10 trekkies who respond on a Star
Trek talk page is one thing. Getting no objection when you've posted
at the village pump, wikien-l and mentioned it on the IRC channel is
another thing.
