At Sun we had inception reviews, interim reviews, and commitment
reviews.  (I'm referring to architecture reviews.)

At IETF we have commitment reviews, naturally, but we only have
inception reviews for WGs and their initial work items, but no inception
reviews for subsequent work items, and no interim reviews.

The only way you'll get currently-late reviews to happen earlier is to
provide a mechanism for that.  That could be as simple as having a WG
chair request an interim review from an appropriate directorate.

Of course, we may not have the directorate cycles for interim reviews,
in which case we might need to improve the directorates.
