A decent level of "review" may involve discussion among WG participants,
and it might be more appropriate to have those discussions on the WG
mailing list rather than on [e-mail], use semi-formal sync-points
when the discussion shifts to the WG mailing list and back, at the end
have a WG summary posted back to [e-mail]
