The other thing I was thinking is that could have Acked-by's and wait to get N 
Acked-by's before going to a vote.

The reason for having a time period was to give people time to actually look at 
code and read proposals instead of just immediately jumping into a heated 
debate.  I think forcing a little think time is a good thing.

Do we have a wiki ETA?  I'd be happy to start putting together questions.
