Isn't this what has essentially happened in this case?  RFC 5377 and
5378 were published and other issues were raised later on.  The Trust
responded by reviewing the TLP and suggest modifications based on the
RFC and discussions afterwards.  The modifications are now out for a
30 day community review.

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