I think we might actually want to forward the Process to the AB *before* 
merging the editorial reorg. Sure we'll need a customized diff document to 
present to the AC, but it takes a lot of time to produce that, and I don't 
want to hold up the AB's substantive review of the Process for it.

We can invite anyone in the AB who's interested in being involved in the 
editorial reorg to participate in the Process CG's review of it, which we can 
conduct in parallel with the AB's substantive review of the 
non-editorial-reorg changes. I suspect most will defer to the Process CG on 
this editorial matter, though.

Sure.
