Precisely my feeling.

The corollary to this is that each constituency would need to give some 
thought as to how they will each contribute to a smaller, more focused 
process. Right now, most constituencies have structured their processes 
such that long timelines are required simply to appoint a representative 
to a task force - getting concrete contributions from them is a larger 
task still.
