Have you considered deciding about individual proposals as and when they are completed, rather than making a decision about all proposals each September? This could also avoid merge-conflicts between the report deltas for proposals that touch the same bit of the report.

I can see advantages and disadvantages of both approaches - incremental decisions vs a single time-limited big decision. I think it all depends on the engagement of the community. If there is clear consensus from the community on a particular proposal, I can imagine the committee incrementally accepting it. If consensus is not clear, I think a decision is likely to be deferred until voting-time. Regards, Malcolm
