It has become clear to me during the last several days of 
discussion that we don't have a clear idea / consensus about 
what "gating" means.  And a critical path analysis might point 
the finger at places other than the IESG, while this "gating" 
discussion starts with the IESG as the answer and works (IMO) 
backwards.
