You've done a good job here, but I might suggest stepping back even a bit further. If you want reviews to work, they must be in the spirit of "we all improve and learn together" rather than "bad dog! bad!" The tone you set in why you are doing them, who is involved, how they run makes all the difference in the world. What you want is to create a culture where it is safe to point out something that could have ramifications, and to promote a culture where there can be dialog about what's best for the health of the team and products you support. More often than not though, I've seen these meetings turn into "beatings shall continue until morale improves" sessions. Just my $0.02.
