Perhaps the community is suffering "fatique" in preparation for the upcoming meeting. :-) Good idea to extend the comment period and republicize BUT we have several contributions via the white papers that were contributed, right?

I've just peeked into the public comment archive for the PDP-Dec05 and noticed that we don't really have any meaty submissions. Given that we had a large number of substantive submissions in the last round, I think it might be worthwhile to extended the comment period for another 7 to 14 days, reiterate a call for public comments and also underscore the request for comments to each of our constituencies. I find it hard to believe that the community has no input regarding this latest call for comments. -ross
