I think that Christopher was referring to proposals to adopt
annotation-friendly online platform for review instead of email.  Such a
platform would make it easier both for the committee and for submitters
to keep track of license review and comments.

For example *as a member of the committee*, I was under the impression
that we'd cleared NOSA and forwarded it to the board.  I had no idea it
was still being debated, since there was no activity and my personal
objections had been addressed.
