We don't need for the exclusion period for FPWD to end before Proposed Rec can begin. What we need is for Exclusion periods for both the FPWD and last Candidate REC to end before the AC review ends (at least a couple of days before to be able to react to it. I based the proposal on our current practice not to start a PR review until all exclusion opportunities have ended: http://www.w3.org/2003/12/22-pp-faq.html#mult-exclusions Given that exclusions are rare, your proposed change seems reasonable. Do you think Members will say "Sorry, we don't want to invest in a review until the risk of exclusions is 0" or will they prefer the optimization?
