Excellent point.  I  had assumed that the "earlier,  wider reviews" would be
harder for the ADs to control very closely (for reasons of scale, if nothing
else), but perhaps that assumption is wrong.  If the effect of early reviews
is help  special interest  groups have  more impact on  the WGs  rather than
less, we won't have made much progress.

This  all  comes  back to  the  underlying  issue  of whether  "the  general
interest"  is best served  by applying  a variety  of perspectives  (which I
think means  a variety of people  with independent perspectives,  and by the
marketplace), or whether it is best  served by having all the decisions made
by a small  group of know-it-alls.  This  is one of the issues  on which the
problem-statement group failed to agree.
