It does take work, but many participants must surely have opinions on
what the Recommendation would ideally be, according to their
understanding of the goals, constraints etc.  Those views have
resulted from a great deal of work reading RRG messages, proposal
documents - and for some, writing such messages and documents.  The
amount of work required to write these opinions up so others can know
and discuss them is small, I think, compared to the work many of us
have already put into this field.

I wasn't suggesting that we try to write something which we think
many people, or even a single other person, would agree upon.  I
suggest people write what they personally think would be a good
Recommendation, according to their own clearly stated set of goals.
Even if this is incomplete - such as only concerning a subset of the
proposals - I think this would be a better contribution to the field
than to write nothing.
