But until I have seen the others in IESG abandon their Abstain positions I am not certain of it. The fact that these changes does affect the NSLP documents have made me put of this review until I have seen clear progress of GIST. I fully agree that all NSIS work has gone on too long. But me spending too much time reviewing the documents that may need to change isn't productive. I will continue with my AD reviews of the NSIS documents when I cleared out the others that I know can make progress.
