I've been lurking :)
Feel free to make the request - you have my approval.
It is my hope that those people that have expressed objections about
some or all of the draft come up with alternate replacements. There
have been a few somewhat vocal (yet still minority) opponents to various
issues, and I'd like (1) for their voice to be heard clearly and (2)
should the IESG have objections to the same sections of the draft, we
would have an immediate supply of alternate language to draw from.
On a personal note, I have been quiet here in large part because my
employer (Digital Island, who was purchased by Cable and Wireless, who
also purchased most of the US assets of Exodus) has been undergoing a
series of massive changes and in general going down the tubes. I was
just told late last week that I am being laid off, lifting a huge weight
off my shoulders. Because of this, I am planning on taking a more
active role in this group again.
