Based on experience of DANE, I think that the whole process will go a lot faster if there isn't an attempt to rush through a scheme.
I can't see any technical issues in this case but my experience of DANE has been that we argue for several months on whether to consider an issue that could be addressed in a couple of weeks if it was accepted as a technical matter. And at the end the issue is still not resolved. Trying to make a consensus building process go faster than consensus can be built is a sure recipe for disaster. These schedules are nonsense.
