Or maybe the team should do it automatically; any review that is substantially modified as a result of objection must be re-submitted for approval.  Ugh (in some respects, mostly the delay).

or just allow an appeal and not have the overhead when no one objects.  
(so if it bugs someone, they appeal.  if it doesn't, it's done).  For 
that list of decisions after AC Review that can be appealed, the only 
exclusion not allowing appeal should be approval of the proposal without 
substantive change with no AC Review dissent (formal objection).  i.e. 
everyone agreed and nothing changed so even though its in the list, no 
appeal in that case.
