In my model, the advisor is an on-going mentor. They are an active participant in the working group. Reviewers are not (necessarily) participants. There is an obvious -- and probably quite appropriate -- view that a reviewer MUST NOT be a participant, lest their review be too distorted by having too much context. In both cases, I would think that neither has any sort of veto. Rather, they must sway by convincing rather than dictating. This applies both to the decision-making by the wg and decision-making by the IESG (about the wg output.) d/ _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
