[alac] ICANN / VRSN settlement comment period extended

["John R Levine" <johnl@xxxxxxxx>]

Can anyone explain this cause and effect to me?  I quote from an article
on ICANN's home page:

 ... the Board is extending the period for comment by requesting that all
 constituencies and advisory committees submit concise, actionable
 comments regarding the settlement's effect on their stakeholder community

I understand that they're soliciting comments, and I understand that
they're extending the comment period from comically perfunctory to much
too short (which is certainly an improvement), but I don't understand how
one is supposed to lead to the other.
