The sad fact is that the only way the larger community would be likely to take such proposals seriously would be if there were an imminent deadline. Unfortunately, it is hard to take the imminent deadline seriously given the absence of substance in some areas. Thus a chance has been missed to get substantial involvement from the broader community.
This is quite confusing. 1. There *is *a proposed deadline. 2. I agree to not take it seriously. 3. How is it a fact, that an imminent deadline is necessary for the larger community to take such proposals seriously? 4. I agree it would be sad, if that was the only motivation for the community to think about it. 5. There was quite significant involvement by the community, many useful comments and suggestions. It's more than enough for the WGs to evaluate, and update the recommendations. Significantly more input at until the next iteration would be overwhelming, and impossible to process.
