Higher ups should review ALL ideas.. maybe spend 10% of their time during the week.. at least to once over the ideas. There should be more than one higher up reviewing all ideas... make it short - a quick title and paragraph to skim through.
Having a formal review process without a higher up involved will shoot down a lot of things that might make it.

- I am worried that a formal review process may kill a lot of valuable ideas, but also hopeful that Google can conceive of a way of doing it that allows every idea a fair chance.
