I don't think we are "getting around the bylaws". Folks, we need to step up
to the plate, propose an interim approach for gTLDS and IDNS, and modify the
process.

Let's "get a grip" here and manage the process, NOT simply be managed by the
process.

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.
