While I agree procedurally that this is more likely a post-Last Call issue rather than a pre-Last Call issue, does it make it any less of an issue? Conceptually, isn't Last Call the time to shake out these kinds of issues and problems? Strikes me that before moving from Last Call to Candidate Recommendation that this will need to be discussed and addressed, and consensus formed around the issue no matter when in the actual process it is done. Perhaps some clarification from the Chairs on how they intend to address situations like this moving forward would be helpful? Just my $0.02 JF
