Meaning? I continue to think it would be great if we had a wide range of
opinion on this - both from chapters and from others in the movement.

Because the MR process has gone on for so long, I'm personally sceptical of
extending the deadline. (I'm not convinced we will actually get more
discussion with more time - that has not necessarily been the history of MR
since 2010 July, when it began.

So at this moment, I'm leaning towards a one-month focused period of
discussion.
