What action has been taken in the past nine months to commission an
external review?

Full Potential: Who's counting?
Ian,
Who is tasked with measuring and reporting on how or indeed whether
W3C is fulfilling it's stated objective?
Is this an external and independent body?
Where are their reports published?

The first phase of the Web is human communication though shared
knowledge.
The Consortium exists as a place for those companies for whom the Web
is essential to meet and agree on the common underpinnings that will
allow everyone to go forward.

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) develops interoperable
technologies (specifications, guidelines, software, and tools) to lead
the Web to its full potential.
http://www.w3.org/Consortium/org.html#public
W3C Members include vendors of technology products and services,
content providers, corporate users, research laboratories, standards
bodies, and governments, all of whom work to reach consensus on a
direction for the Web.
http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Points/
W3C's mission is to lead the Web to its full potential, which it
does by developing technologies (specifications, guidelines, software,
and tools) that will create a forum for information, commerce,
inspiration, independent thought, and collective understanding.
Today this universe benefits society by enabling new forms of human
communication and opportunities to share knowledge. One of W3C's
primary goals is to make these benefits available to all people,
whatever their hardware, software, network infrastructure, native
language, culture, geographical location, or physical or mental ability.
