Many times those comments are simply pointing out well known architectural requirements that may be unknown to the project teams. Other items are explicitly called out as TCR's (aka required changes), and many times such things are debated by the ARC members themselves. Still other items are such obvious pieces of good advice that the project team simply accepts them and incorporates them into an updated spec. Excluding the above, the rest of the discussion between the project team and the ARC members is usually advice. Sometimes it is obvious and good, other times it is off base and crap (but it is always free!) Good project teams tend to listen to this advice and cherry pick the most important. Inexperienced teams often misinterpret advice as being an absolute requirement, or utterings by an ARC member as being a formal requirement.... -John
