Putting up text for discussion seems reasonable, but this page as published on your site does not. I'm hoping that you will change it to be clear that it is a proposal, before taking the discussion much further afield.

First, you seem to be responding to a note that I never received.  I 
don't know where it was sent, but I can't find it in the web archives:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-w3process/2014Dec/author.html

Second, patches welcome.  Seriously.

I state my concerns.  There is little progress.  You suggest that I take 
a stab at it, and I do, and at which point there starts to be some progress.

Now you state your concerns.  Good.  That's how we make progress.  I 
suggest that you draft whatever it will take to address those concerns. 
  In return, I'll promise to be responsive.

I also invite Rigo, Wendy, or whomever to draft their own proposal.  If 
that results in something that I will support and is more likely to gain 
consensus, I'll retire my draft, most likely with a 410 Gone HTTP status 
response.
