99% true (IMHO)

The trouble is that only one ARC sees fast-tracks.

Having done this myself, I'd suggest cc: the other ARCs and start with a 
*short* paragraph explaining why they are seeing it.  I suspect nobody 
other than PSARC cares, but other ARCs might get pissy if excluded.

(Other minor variations exist, but the *need* is that all ARCs get 
notified and a chance to comment (if needed)).
