Hi, Nancy,

When I hand out reviews to individuals, I let them go
off and mark them up. When there is a review meeting,
I am there. Period. During code reviews, the developers
are present, during doc reviews, the writer(s) is(are)
present. You are ultimately responsible for the material;
therefore, you have a right to be at this meeting. In fact,
you should be running it, IMHO, so you can help them
give you constructive criticism and other input you can
use.
