I've just transposed the legal requirements, nothing else here. 
Everything else is subjective and difficult to represent in the 
interests of interoperability.

Not complicated enough - it doesn't include Freely Given, Unambigious, 
etc ... But we'd add these in DPV-GDPR.

We're scoping ourselves to data protection / privacy laws and terms for 
the group.

Not sure what you mean by status, but there is a concept for the 
state/status of consent as expected for its validity.

Existing properties specified for consent, i.e.

Yes, reaffirmed means to affirm or confirm something (again). "renew" 
would mean to repeat or reaffirm as well, but I chose what I thought was 
the most clear term to indicate confirming/granting again (i.e. 
repetition) that would not be confused again (e.g. repeating earlier 
refusal).
