For some past survey decisions, serious defects were found in Change Proposals during or in some cases even after the survey stage. 51030 1 mjs 2011-07-14 16:17:32 +0000 Proposed resolution: 1) Change Proposal review becomes mandatory. 2) We never go to survey or a Call for Consensus on a single remaining proposal, without the Chairs first giving thorough review comments on all Change Proposals and getting revisions. 2) The policy sets some fixed deadline for revisions (need to determine). 3) If a proposal is not updated to a satisfactory level by the deadline, we drop it and see if the next step is survey or Call for Consensus (or close without prejudice if no satisfactory Change Proposals remain).
