Please go ahead and do these two.

I had hoped to start this part of the process by posting a specific
draft with options.
Once you're satisfied with #1 and #2, assuming there aren't objections
during Wednesday's meeting, in three weeks time I'd like to call for a
vote.

Total time and the amount of available time I have to deal with this
issue is one of my concerns. I'd like to spend the limited time I have
available dealing with the technical issue rather than the process
issue.

I think the process question is important because that's how decisions
are made when things work properly. I just think the process question is
orthogonal to the technical decision, and in addition to my concerns
above, I'm not convinced that the TC is the right body to decide whether
another group in Debian has followed their internal process.
But that doesn't mean that I should be standing in the way of members of
the TC who feel differently about that either.
Please go ahead and do #1 and #2 above as you suggest.
