Rob, I think that might work, would be helpful, and would facilitate having general IETF participant review after those Area ones and in some cases, even a revised document. And it would presumably be no harder to automate than the current setup, just triggered by a different state change. _However_ as I more or less said earlier, if those are review _requests_ rather than commitments of the start of work, it could provide significant opportunities for delay. If the AD waited to initiate IETF Last Call until a significant fraction of those reviews came in, the many concerns about how long it often takes between a WG requesting publication of a document and that document getting into the hands of the RFC Editor might be replaced by nostalgia for the present system as things got much, much worse. So I think any change, or even a decision to stick with the status quo, probably should be accompanied by guidance to ADs and review team leaders and participants about a window after "assignment" during which someone could decline and a period after that in which, if reviews don't come in, the relevant AD(s) are obligated to either do the review themselves or vote "no objection". There are probably many reasonable variations on that theme but the current system has sometimes turned, however unintentionally, into a DoS attack on progress in WGs, their leadership, and authors/editors. It would be really unfortunate to make that worse. john
