Actually, no. The volunteers who worked on the draft did so in the open, for months, to the best of their ability, and that was the time when general comments would have been welcome (along with specific work as well, of course). What's needed now is not general comments but specific, incremental activity to improve the document before the annual election. > > Afterwards you (or - that person) could come back and request new > community grassroots feedback. I don't have enough to go on from Ben's comments to be able to make changes, beyond being aware he doesn't like the draft. S.
