I am opposed to any restructuring.  I am in favour of two rounds of external
tweaks.  I believe that by addressing the review now, we will avoid doing
further work at IESG stage, and that's what the directorates are about.

That's not the name I would pick.  I think it is too weak: there is
significant design decisions made.  We have something which is much more than
requirements, but not quite architectural.

In *building* terms (where we think we know the waterfall process of
architecture, civil, structure engineering, and construction planning, but
really we are wrong. It's way more complex than we think)...

We know how many stories the building will have... but it might be that
   putting the highest efficiency HVAC on the roof will reduce that by one.
We know that the building will have a glass exterior, but the exact
dimensions of the panes is not yet known, estetically and weight wise, it's
understood, and they won't be mirrored because the neighbours won't like
that... but there are seismic considerations, and a new city bylaw on
mitigation of falling glass...  (to make some stuff up)
