I agree that the Tools team can document interfaces and/or suggest 
tools to support review processes (e.g., solicitation, archival, and 
linking of reviews). However, it looks like Mark is doing a "good 
enough" job already, and we would need more data/experience to design 
something more permanent.

On the other hand, I would not task the Tools team to document review 
criteria or to develop solicitation process for Chairs. Doing that 
seems too far from the current Tools charter.

Alex.

P.S. I am speaking as a Tools team member, but do not claim to 
represent team's position.
