unanimous-consent calendar

Read a random definition: Pro bono

A quick definition of unanimous-consent calendar:

A unanimous-consent calendar is a list of things that a group of people need to vote on, but everyone agrees on them and they are not expected to cause any arguments. This means that they can be voted on quickly and without any debate. It helps the group to get through their work faster and more efficiently.

A more thorough explanation:

A unanimous-consent calendar is a list of business awaiting a deliberative assembly's vote that is not expected to be substantially opposed and is therefore scheduled for a vote without debate, or for automatic adoption unless a member objects. This is also known as a consent agenda or unanimous-consent agenda.

For example, an assembly may have a large number of routine or noncontroversial matters on its agenda. It may find it convenient and efficient to consider these matters under unanimous consent procedure. This gives every member an opportunity to object, but if no one objects, the presiding officer can dispose of a great deal of the agenda quickly and efficiently.

Another example is a legislative committee that reports out a list of bills for consideration by the entire legislature. This list is known as a calendar, and if the bills are not expected to be controversial, they may be placed on the unanimous-consent calendar for a quick and efficient vote.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
