I think I'd support them more if the document were a statement of principles rather than a set of rules. I don't think it's necessary to impose so formal a structure on the process unless the SC believes that good judgment is a less effective cover than process.
Secondly the document assumes that planning and approval of an experiment as part of the program is not in fact the responsibility of the program committee but rather of the SC. While the SC has that prerogative, the document should (I believe) reflect that the PC is responsible for the integration of of the experiment into the program and should unless something is badly wrong be involved in the approval process... The sense that i got from the previous exercise was that the community one the whole was not interested in experiments which were disruptivem and the document adequately captures that.
