Here is a reminder of the process for voting and reviews: Votes are taken to approve a change or addition. Votes are taken twice at separate meetings; one reason for the two votes is to allow time for reflection and for additional issues to be raised. It is acceptable to vote yes on one of the two votes and no on the other. Reviews of the proposed text are used to ensure that the text is consistent with the rest of the document. Such reviews do not review the proposal on its own technical grounds (that should be done by the Forum members prior to each vote). Rather, they look for editing errors or inconsistencies with respect to the existing document. As an example of an editing error, when reviewing one proposal that included the LaTeX source (which is to be encourage), there was a use of \mpi/ where \MPI/ was intended. As an example of an inconsistency, in reviewing ticket 55, I noticed that the proposed change was inconsistent with text already in the document. While it is hoped that such inconsistencies would be detected by the Forum members prior to the votes, the review process provides an additional check.
