Point is that the current proposal which just concluded last call definitely 
gets it better than the current circumstance. If the community decides to 
develop your proposal, we can always add the pieces needed to integrate it.

In short, we can get 2014-13 right and right now, and we can, if there is 
consensus, get your proposal right later. Putting 2014-13 in place as is does 
nothing to harm that process and it provides much needed relief to a number of 
organizations sooner rather than later.

I'm at a bit of a disadvantage in commenting further as I am not at liberty to 
disclose the AC actions today. However, irrespective of what actually happened, 
I think it is a good idea not to delay 2014-13 for the sake of possibly 
improving how it integrates with your proposal. Instead, we can make all the 
necessary changes under the banner of your proposal, if it gains traction with 
the community. In short, it's no less right to adopt 2014-13 as is and just 
make the changes in your proposal later. There's absolutely no harm and 
significant benefit.
