Currently the proposed new Process says of LCCR
  # must specify the deadline for comments, which must be at least
  # four weeks after publication, and should be longer for complex
  # documents
however REC says:
  # should not provisionally approve a Request for publication of
  # a W3C Recommendation less than 35 days after the publication
  # of the Last Call Candidate Recommendation on which is it based
  # [editor's note - this is to allow for the patent policy
  # exclusion period to expire]

It might be helpful to recommend that the LCCR comment period
be at least as long as the exclusion period, since you can't
(except in extraordinary circumstances, I imagine) publish a
REC before then anyway.
