Maybe I'm just anal after flying with an anal captain for too long, but "standing by on flaps, above green line" works for us to get us back into the mind frame of what we need to do. I know it's an unusual situation, as most of us rarely go around, but it's ingrained in my head, anyways... I won't even call positive rate until I know he/she won't overspeed (if I'm PNF). This is a plane that will "supposedly" retract flaps automatically preventing an overspeed, but I, nor the people I fly with want to take a chance on that...

As far as windshear, isn't it "ride stick shaker until clear, accelerate, above green line, flaps whatever, positive rate, gear up", and then continue doing normal ops, at most places? Inquiring minds, and all...
