Re: ISSUE-73: Proposed changes to process chapter

Umhhh...  I don't think the latest edits actually addresses all the
points I had raised.  Apologies for my lateness in spotting this.

... this is a piece of text that I had raised in the original issue.
I'm still not happy with it, since I believe that we're making
promises that we may not be able to keep.

Proposed rewording:

That says how we're planning to force ourselves (and the community)
to get these things done, without saying who will do it, or where
we'll get the participants from -- I don't think we need to talk
about the latter point in the note anyway.

(Once again, I want to describe the ends more than the means of
funding or organizing the tests.)

Mez, do you want me to reopen the issue in order to get these
changes in?
