The text of the first paragraph of Section 7.2.3.1 Wide Review currently reads:
"The requirements for wide review are not precisely defined by the W3C Process. The objective is to ensure that the entire set of stakeholders of the Web community, including the general public, have had adequate notice of the progress of the Working Group and thereby an opportunity to comment on the specification. Before approving transitions, the Director will consider who has been explicitly offered a reasonable opportunity to review the document, who has provided comments, the record of requests to and responses from reviewers, especially groups identified as dependencies in the charter, and seek evidence of clear communication to the general public about appropriate times and which content to review."
To include Liaisons in the final sentence, it is suggested that the phrase, "especially groups identified as dependencies in the charter," be changed to, "especially groups identified as dependencies in the charter or identified as <a href="http://www.w3.org/2001/11/StdLiaison.html">liaisons</a>,"
The "href" refers to the Liaison page that tracks liaison requests made to the W3C. - Related Actions Items:

After the change and the changes made for Issue-144, the paragraph in question would read:
7.2.3.1 Wide Review
The requirements for wide review are not precisely defined by the W3C Process. The objective is to ensure that the entire set of stakeholders of the Web community, including the general public, have had adequate notice of the progress of the Working Group (for example, using public-review-announce@w3.org <mailto:public-review-announce@w3.org>) and were able to actually perform reviews of and provide comments on the specification. A second objective is to encourage groups to request reviews early enough that comments and suggested changes may still be reasonably incorporated in response to the review. Before approving transitions, the Director will consider who has been explicitly offered a reasonable opportunity to review the document, who has provided comments, the record of requests to and responses from reviewers, especially groups identified as dependencies in the charter or identified as <a href="http://www.w3.org/2001/11/StdLiaison.html">liaisons</a>, and seek evidence of clear communication to the general public about appropriate times and which content to review and whether such reviews actually occurred.
