I see this as a long process, and by no means do I want to
exclude any one. There are a number of low hanging errors that can
be eliminated before we get to the more complex cases where we need
to get the input of everyone.
Also, consider the fact that in a project this size, there is
probably no time that is good enough for every one. By starting the
refinement now, and taking our time to get it right (I do not have an
arbitrary deadline before which policy must be fixed and rushed out
of the door), we are more likely to get a document that is in good
shape.
If you think you can only participate in the process after
Etch is released, that is fine. Policy is not going anywhere.
