I agree that a longer feedback period is appropriate, preferably with the same kind of public notices requesting comment that are pushed out for FDC application reviews.
Overall I would say that this year's process is a regression from last year's, and is inconsistent with the degree of transparency and openness that characterize good governance practices. I would like WMF to apply the same standards to itself that it applies to the affiliates. I felt that last year's process was a big step in the right direction, and the regression this year is disappointing.
