David, Rob, thank you for your feedback. We will discuss your suggestion among Chairs and team. While I completely understand your concerns, please note that the Chairs did not specify this review period arbitrarily. The usual timeframe for other Working Groups for Last Call review is three weeks (even for other complex and long documents). The Chairs already did extend this period to 30 days to accommodate the complexity of the spec.
