I have no problem putting that document on ice for a while. It was an 
attempt to come up with a way to avoid publishing a BCP for the 
2020-2021 NomCom (or any) variance. But it already sounds like people 
would want more time to ponder the limits of it or be convinced that 
it's actually a good idea, so it's unlikely to get published in time for 
it to make a difference.

I might publish an update today with the suggestions that people made so 
far, just to have it there if/when we want to get back to it, but I see 
no need to keep discussing it if it's not going to move through quickly.
