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.
