Thanks for the comments on and off list. I've thought of another FAQ to 
include:

Q: What are common types of feedback for the CSR to give?
A: Common outcomes for a proposal after review by the CSR include:
    * Approved with no comments; this is most likely for small requests.
    * Deferring CSR review until additional technical reviewers examine 
the proposal.
    * Approving the proposal, but with comments affecting the code 
review. For example, the CSR may find issues with the javadoc that do 
not change the specification, etc.
    * Approving the proposal, on the condition that a release note is 
written for the change.
    * Substantive comments that require more extensive changes to the 
request.

I plan to start populating the wiki with amended versions of the 
previously sent FAQ items.

Thanks,

-Joe
