In all good will, I'm genuinely puzzled. It seems to me that you are being either naive or disingenuous in below statement.<br>
<br>
I refer to Chris Lahatte's statement on a procedural point that is anything but dull.<br>
<br>
If there is a dearth of time for review, that is exactly when the major changes are slipped in, that are often not noticed until after its too late.<br>
<br>
So while I will 100% accept that the below description is possible, and even very like to be correct, running the show in this way is procedurally unfair as it excludes oversight and does not *ensure*, in a transparent way that nothing is being sprung on anyone.<br>
<br>
Put another way, I have to take your (or someone else's) word for it.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>

I'll close with a quite dull procedural point - the documents that you are<br>
not getting much time to review for these calls are generally a) making<br>
tiny, incremental changes from previous versions, and b) have been<br>
substantially the same for weeks. Nothing is being "sprung" on anyone right<br>
now.<br>
