OK, here's an old-style formulation: X is to current policy and 
policy-review discussions as RfAr is to the Workshop. What would X be?

It would be some sort of policy review that operated to a schematic, 
with things like "in fewer than 500 words" for submissions, and so on. 
And it would not be a free-for-all or brainstorming session.
