Hi,

As a previous complainer, I opened an issue with a few suggestions. Feel
free to mix and match:

https://github.com/larseggert/draft-ietf-modpod-group-processes/issues/153

I think actions should be taken, not attempted. The word "comity" is not
unusual if you've been doing your homework by reading the classics, but it
is never said in contemporary speech, and is unusual in an IETF document.

Feel free to do better and one-up me. :)

thanks,
Rob
