Agreement as communicated (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assent

'agreement' is the definition.
(assent is a kind of agreement)

'as communicated' is the wordplay.
'communicated' becomes 'sent' (sending is a kind of communicating).
'as'+'sent'='ASSENT'

(Other definitions for assent that I've seen before include "Say yes" , "Give consent" , "Agree, acquiesce" , "Acquiesce, comply" , "Give the thumbs-up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
