I do not know how else to help speed up review without having to wait
for a intermediary delay of someone at a company forwarding some
regulatory changes e-mail to a person who is supposed to review them.
With the list we would have a direct way for people to communicate
with the folks who do care about regulatory and who may have roles who
do that.

If people do not mind the constant "please give us a few days" e-mails
then things work without the list but then we (at least Atheros) just
need to make sure regulatory change e-mails do get to the proper folks
for review because we (Atheros) is committed to reviewing these
changes.
