The rule is simple:

Did the author write it (1) for fee/royalty income or (2)
for 
research impact?

If (1), then Green OA self-archiving cannot be madated by
the 
author's institution or funder. If (2) then it can, and
should.

For Annual Reviews, the answer is (2), and Annual reviews
are 
accordingly Green, endorsing author self-archiving (of the 
author's final peer-reviewed draft, not the publisher's PDF)

immediately upon acceptance for publication:
