Sorry, but it is not at all clear to me what you are proposing under the
label "peer review." If you are suggesting the entire priority system be
scrapped and replaced by a committee deciding which names should or should
not be accepted, I disapprove. The priority system may cause a few
headaches on occasion, but at least it is clear and apolitical.
