I hope that is that is the case, the people in the group have
the judgement to extend the period of discussion. Or else, one may
raise a formal objection that would cause a vote to be taken, and
the time taken to set up the mechanism can be used for discussion.
I hope that we are level headed enough not to require a
mandated minimum time limit after the last change; anything that
really does require that is probably to contentous to be resolved in
the informal manner in which the policy mailing lists work; they
should really be going to the General Resolution protocol decreed by
the constitution.
