I'm going with Pete's original guidance on the drafts to be selected. This is how John Levine explained that guidance to me:

So I have to disagree when it comes to imposing limits - and I can easily change the proposed charter text if there is any confusion about IDN variants. Pushing out an update now to create the illusion of activity won't help us.
