Right, so I'm not sure I understand your objection here. The only
process I can imagine that would *not* provide "sufficient opportunity"
as proposed by Don, is clicking a button that would immediately make all
the archives public, without any warning whatsoever. Any process that is
announced even just a few days before being enacted would certainly
match my barrier for "sufficient opportunity".

So can you maybe clarify your worry here?  (I'm asking because I'm
potentially interested in sponsoring Don's amendment.)

Many thanks in advance,
Cheers.
