Area Directors receive REQUEST FOR REVIEW OF CCSDS DOCUMENT messages 
because Area Directors fall into a distribution category for Agency 
reviews.  These messages are NOT requests for the Area directors to approve 
the document at the CESG level, and they should not be confused with such 
requests.  They are basically only courtesy copies of the distribution 
messages sent to various reviewer categories AFTER a document has been 
approved for release and distribution.
