That would be very helpful. Some do not yet understand the repercussions of
missing deadlines and the finality of closing an issue. 

The chairs have been generous in repeatedly extending deadlines to the point
were deadlines may not be taken seriously by some.

Realistic and reasonable deadlines should be mutually agreed upon, set, and
then actually met not only by individual working group members but by task
force groups as well.
