RCOM is not functioning as a complete group anymore.  However, we split into sub-committees while we were still a functioning group.  The subject recruitment sub-committee and newsletter sub-committees are performing vital functions still. 

I never stated that research recruiting needs RCOM approval.  I definitely said that it "ought to" have RCOM approval.  There are also more than two "review coordinators" (not not "reviewers") -- it's just that DarTar and I have accepted the burden of distributing work.  When people are busy, we often coordinate the reviews ourselves. 

I welcome your edits to make it clear that review is optional.  As you might imagine, I have plenty of work to do and I appreciate your good-faith collaboration on improving our research documentation.
