It's already pretty low, considering that one valid meaning
of 'No objection' is 'I trust the sponsoring AD'. That
option should perhaps be used more often.

Please be specific.

The problem with that is that more bodies need more volunteers,
so the problem is not guaranteed to go away. But as we've said
*many* times, truly delegating document review would make a big
difference.

Again, please be specific. For example, ignoring dissent and consensus
forming will generally speaking increase the workload in the long run.

We can't. But we can insist that liaison is handled by the
liaison managers.

You really can't do that without dramatically cutting the number
of WGs. If we had 50 WGs we'd have fewer ADs, or their workloads
would be much less.
