I really like that you went through the exercise of a design review, following your own rules for how it should be conducted. Guiding non-designers through design reviews is super critical to what we do. It's our job to ensure that everyone feels they've been heard and that we get some useful, actionable feedback. It seems that the more you're able to include the larger team (outside of design), the more everyone feels that the product is a collaborative effort. This is huge for morale, motivation, and maintaining a positive rapport between designers & the rest of the crew. Basically, make the process participatory = stoked crew. Cool.

I really like the format you suggest for design feedback, it really forces the user to put a lot of thought into what the real issue is and how you can address it.

Over at Vayner Media we have a round table discussion about the prospective design due to our small size but I will suggest emailing in suggestion. It is more concrete and you gain everyone's input. Google Wave sounds useful for this too since it provides a timeline. Good read.
