Much as I'd like for such an approach to be workable, I am in complete agreement with Patrik about this. Indeed, we already have quite a bit of difficulty with cross-area coordination, and I anticipate that this will be even harder to do in the future. A separate meeting would drastically reduce our ability for multiple area review, and that would be a very bad thing. > The problem we have in apps is that we have too many things on the table, > and you point that out in your mail.

And I'm not talking about the ADs here, I'm talking about everyone else who hasn't completed a revision of a draft, who hasn't sent in those comments, or whatever. Ned
