It’s much appreciated and it appears to me courageous to publicly say so. Thank you! However, sadly it cannot be so simple. :-) The GCD deliberation isn’t the expression of some mood or feelings at the deliberation time, instead it’s the result of a deep thought about (1) “Can I live with my concerns and the flaws I identify” and (2) “Aside my personal preferences, is the outcome of the GCD at hand a good direction for the project to move forward?”. > I don’t think that, upon rectification of one’s mind a few months after > the deliberation period ends, we should be changing acceptance/rejection > status of a GCD.

Therefore, it’s what needs to be clarified, IMHO. Especially what means “constructive comments”. Again thank you Greg for your honesty and transparency. Cheers, simon
