That draft is only for the US license.

Generic/unported license drafts with the language in question were
public from the beginning of the 3.0 process:
http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/cc-licenses/2006-August/003855.html
http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/cc-licenses/2006-October/004459.html

But CC could have done a more thorough job of reaching out to
Wikipedians for critique.  If you were left with the impression the
drafts were private this is a bad thing.

Your feedback on the licenses and process will in the long run result in
higher quality CC licenses, so thanks. :)
