I have a problem when the specialist reviews take place months, or 
years, before Last Call so I would like a gate that the discussion 
cannot appear on the Last Call list until a Last Call has been announced 
by the IESG.  This is a regular problem with YANG doctor reviews, which 
WG Chairs often ask for at an early stage, but I see it too with 
Security Reviews and, perhaps, Transport, congestion-related.

My take is that these topics are ones where some think that the WG lack 
the expertise and so call in the specialists at an early stage, which is 
fine but does not need to clutter up the Last Call list.
