- On being submitted, proposals are assigned 3 reviewers at random. If the author has reviewer status, the author must not be one of the assigned reviewers.
- Reviewers can vote +1, -1, +0, -0, or 'no vote' on proposals, with a mandatory comment. These comments are not shown to authors until after the selection process is complete.
- Reports: all proposals, all proposals with fewer than 3 votes, all proposals with 3 or more votes grouped by their votes (all positive, all negative, a mixture).
- Reviewers can enter comments that will be e-mailed to the author. Authors can add replies to these comments.
