That occurred to me too, but only after following-up here. Given the
comments received though, I guess it's worth being more explicit.

Upon reflection, I'd be happy to sponsor this version.

I'm convinced that votes on individual declassifications would be
awkward, but they're on the table anyhow no matter what this GR says.
The net effect of specifying "by GR" here is just ruling out processes
that do not give enough time to object, and that's a good thing.

Cheers.
