I'd think it is still 30 days.  N changes were proposed, on comments
made in the first days, it was clear that one of them wasn't a good
idea, so it was dropped.  No review is necessary for that, for the
other N-1 changes, there is still a 30 day period ongoing.

Belgium: an unsolvable problem, discussed in endless meetings, with no
