It's not a layman's definition. The word "unanimous" has a different meaning in corporate governance (and generally in Parliamentary procedure).
It's also not at all uncommon to be presented with a proposal where the only options are "yes" and "abstain." There is no need for a no option, because you need a majority of yes votes for the measure to pass. Abstaining is the same as voting no.

That doesn't make a lot of sense to me, even as terminology specific to corporate governance. The word 'unanimous' is completely superfluous in that context, and words are not usually defined in ways where they have superfluous meanings.
