I would hope so (and thanks for the link).  My more general
concern is/was associated with the comment about "targets" and
getting into a situation in which some members of the community
start doing their own negotiating and site visits and then get
upset if the IAOC says "no" to whatever they propose.  Certainly
there is not enough information in those reports to turn this
into a process in which the IAOC decisions become mechanical.

best,
