I think your questions fall under what they mean by "procedure" i.e. "not
substance". Their view seems to be that procedural regularity is not a
priority at this stage. I don't really understand why that's the view,
and I don't share it, but it does seem to have persuaded some serious
people (cf. Randy Bush's comments to me in the dnso discuss list).
In the law business, it long ago became conventional wisdom that
'procedure IS substance'. That is especially true in the formative stages
of institutions. In my most optimistic moments I surmise that people from
other disciplines are more short-term and bottom-line oriented, and this
difference in professional socialization may account for some of the
apparent disconnect.
One tries to stay optimistic.
