You can read a summary of the Formal Assessment at the bottom

[Reasons]. As such, they suggest that a new DIP be drafted from
scratch, and that a stronger proposal would have a better
chance of acceptance.
Given the simplicity of the fixes for the problems identified I
really don't think thats the best way forward. One round of forum
review + formal reassessment ought to be enough.
