Re: TAG Pending Review Action Items

This seems almost right, but I would suggest a small modification: for  
each action nominated for closure, provide a BRIEF rationale for  
belief that review is complete (e.g. "recent discussion on www-tag  
constitutes review" or "I looked and it looks done to me" or "no one  
remembers what this was about" or "moot").

The reason is that I want to be able to go to any closed action in  
tracker and find out why it got closed. If the action is merely a  
member of a chair-closed-actions list that's not so helpful. And  
personally I'd rather not have my pending-review actions be closed  
without review from at least one other person.

If anyone can nominate an action for closure that may reduce the brief- 
rationale-writing load on the chair. The procedure would then be: (1)  
send request-to-close email with rationale, (2) let two days pass, (3)  
take silence at TAG meeting (perhaps for an entire batch) as assent to  
close.
