I proposed a while ago to NCSG policy committee some idea for creating
process and timeline to handle public comment and ensure that we covers
more, you can find the thread here
http://mailman.ipjustice.org/pipermail/pc-ncsg/2015-December/003349.html  .
that can be definitely tweaked for NCUC case and adding probably more
details about definition of level of consensus regarding a statement. we
can also learn from what we did for bylaws change consultation. another
idea, Brenden and I propsoed before it is to do some policy position
polling using such tool https://ncuc.adhocracy.de/instance/ncuc

Best,

Rafik
