I don't see this. Especially not the "indefinitely" part. I think it
works this way: you state your problem, you propose new language that
would solve your problem, the committee either adopts your language or
holds a hearing for you. After the hearing, the committee either amends
its proposal or moves on. No can block the process indefinitely.

I think the modified Section 5.9 proposed by the Association of Internet
Professionals and NSI (see the AIP's letter of support and its "Joint
Appendix") solves your concern.
