Right now, with a member vote, if a late comment comes in after language lockdown that would fundamentally improve the vote, the sponsor can withdraw the vote and push it back a week. And, with a member vote, if quorum fails, the member can resubmit it as-is or can adjust it based on comments. If it can't be modified the evening it fails, then it pushes the next vote out two weeks. | Right now, with a member vote, if a late comment comes in after language lockdown that would fundamentally improve the vote, the sponsor can withdraw the vote and push it back a week.

With this process, it seems like the steering wheel gets torn out of the car after Step B. If a good comment comes in late, the Board can't push Step C back to incorporate it without causing the temporary policy to lapse. Also, the automatic extensions for Step D seem to prohibit further modifications if good input was received in the interim. So the rigid timeline here may result in lower quality than would be expected with member votes. --[[User:Rdpierce|Rdpierce]] ([[User talk:Rdpierce|talk]]) 10:36, 26 April 2015 (CDT) | With this process, it seems like the steering wheel gets torn out of the car after Step B.
