Media policy was pushed to July precisely because it is more complex
and (at this point, at least) more contentious.

I fear that diverting resources to getting a bare-bones media policy
out the door early will only cause significant delays to not just
advanced media policy, but to all of our deliverables. That seems
a steep price to pay for a two-month advance on publication.

Hopefully, by the time the membership manipulation document is ready
for publication, the media policy draft will be stable enough to give
you a basis to start implementation.

What is important to keep in mind is that we are not performing these
tasks serially. The documents should develop pretty much in parallel.
