I think there was at least an offer at one point for clarification. 
And I think more waiting does not make things better. 

The offer is described here:

I personally thought it would be very helpful. Though, come to think of it, 
I recall nobody saying anything (positive or negative) about this idea. 
Evan suggested having comments on the wiki would be nice, which does not 
seem to have happened. 

Any thoughts? Shouldn't we ask Mia to start setting up the panel if possible?
