I agree. This is the first time that I manage this process as 
coordinator, and everything can be made better, but we had a first draft 
and comments out there for ten days or so, we had a deadline, then a 
second draft reflecting the sense of the discussion, and a consensus 
call. Apart from a couple of minor last minute additions, everything was 
on the list for some time, even if I understand that we all are very 
busy, traveling etc. We decided to have a charter exactly to have a 
formalized process for a number of things, and I'm keen on following 
it... and if people disagree with our calls, we even have a brand new 
appeals team :-)
In the end, there is an intrinsic value to all of us in making a 
statement. Possibly it'd also help us to be taken more seriously.

 > Maybe just clean up the English a little...?

Any specific suggestion (in private as well) would be welcome.
Thanks,
