No.  I was asking where reviews go, how the information generated by the
reviewer is fed back to the WG / authors.

This brings up a good point that should have been included on my list of
questions.  

  + How binding are early, cross area review comments on authors /
    editors / WGs?

I'd like to hear additional opinions on this point.  (And, Pekka's
assertion above leads to many questions.  I'd rather not rat-hole on
those until we figure out what sort of high-level feelings folks have on
this question.)

Thanks!
