Question - Lack of Response = Assent?

If someone does not respond to a question or vote do we consider that they have agreed or do we consider them to have abstained, or to disagree?

I suggest we consider a non-resonse as an abstain in a practical sense. However, it would be good when tallying votes to note how many are formal abstains and how many are non-votes/responses.

I agree if people don't answer we take this as an abstain.

No response would indicate an abstained vote.
