Wide Review Ensured

How is satisfying “widely reviewed” encouraged/ensured?

State:
CLOSED
Product:
Document life cycle (pre 2014 chapter 7, now chapter 6)
Raised by:
Steve Zilles
Opened on:
2013-11-10
Description:
There have been extensive comments on the Chapter 7 draft related to ensuring that the Widely Reviewed requirement is met by LCCR. These have ranged over
1. not invoking LCCR multiple times
2. ensuring reviewers are well informed about a document's status
3. spliting the Review requirements into a separate session from Status
Clearly some refinement is needed.

Related notes:

Discussion of this issue, both in various fora (ac-forum and public-w3process) and that W3C Process Task Force has shown that there is a desire for
1. a standard signal that the document is (mostly) complete and ready for review as a whole.
2. having every Working Draft (WD) have, up front, an indication of what should be reviewed in this draft. The above signal can be used in this "section" to describe that status of the document as a whole.

One possible name for this signal could be "Functionally Complete". This would mean that the Working Group thought it had completed its work and was asking the reviewers for confirmation that that is true. The use of this signal would be optional and its use would not either be necessary nor sufficient to meet the criteria for "Wide Review".

One possible name for a section that indicates what to review could be, "Review Considerations" This section SHOULD be present at the beginning of the document and should highlight sections of the document that are most appropriate for review. This is different from the list of changes since the last version, but it may link to that list as appropriate.
