When you change a name in ISO 15924, that change can be reflected here two weeks later, subject, of course, to the registration process. As the reviewer, you control how long discussion and debate continues.

By inference, yes you have. You are required to accept, reject, or extend debate on any request following the two week review period. You're not proposing to extend debate on these requests in two-week increments (which must be done by saying so on this list) for, oh, say the next five to eighteen months are you? And you're proposing not to accept them in the mean time.
