Hey Ryan, After some investigate, I found out that once the package was notarized, the default-consent document was converted to accept-only document by OSS system, it consists with the behavior that in notary signing, default-consent document was no longer a blocking for signing process. Namely, the "approval" node in default-consent document's metadata was no longer empty as it normally to be and at the same time, notary's name was not in the array list. normal signing:
{
           "status": "",
           "description": "Must be accepted and agreed to before starting the signing process.",
           "id": "default-consent",
           "data": {
               "ese_document_texttag_extract_needed": "false"
           },
           "external": null,
           "approvals": [],
           ...
}
notary signing:
    {
      "status": "",
      "description": "Must be accepted and agreed to before starting the signing process.",
      "id": "default-consent",
      "external": null,
      "signedHash": null,
      "approvals": [                                                                                          //only signer was added, not notary
        {
          "role": "956cfd92-d31c-44cb-8d90-1b57db85c153",
          "id": "6f4dd1c1-6c13-42c1-b604-9edb196ebaba",
          "optional": false,
          "accepted": "2019-06-06T18:54:47Z",
          "enforceCaptureSignature": false,
          "signed": "2019-06-06T18:54:47Z",
          "data": null,
          "fields": [],
          "name": ""
        }
      ],
     ......
}
To work it around, if you added an accept approval for notary by REST in separate call after notary role id was chosen but before the package was finally sent:
HTTP Request
POST /api/packages/{packageId}/documents/{documentId}/approvals

HTTP Headers
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Basic api_key

Request Payload
       {
                    "role": "notary_role_id",
                    "id": "approval_id",
                    "name": "approval_name"
       }
Notary will be forced to accept the default consent. Hope this could help! Duo
